FIELD: electrical engineering.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to electrical engineering, in particular to high-voltage connectors used in an explosive atmosphere. High-voltage connector includes an electric terminal and a housing elongated in a first direction along a longitudinal axis of said connector, an end surface of the electric terminal being mounted on a proximal end surface of the elongated housing, with the respective body axis directions of the housing and connector in parallel, wherein said high-voltage connector comprises outer electric connection area for connection to an external electric terminal, the elongated housing at a distal end being arranged to receive at least one power cable for internal electrical connection of the at least one power cable with an inner connecting area of the electric terminal. High-voltage connector comprises an encapsulating casing that encloses the electric terminal and the elongated housing in the first direction, and the encapsulating casing provides a closed space between said casing and the housing.
EFFECT: high voltage connector of standard dimensions can be used for higher voltage applications above the standardized high voltage limit.
