Title: High-voltage push to mate electrical interconnect

Abstract

A high-voltage self-aligning push to mate electrical interconnect device is provided. The electrical interconnect device includes a housing with a mating end and a receiving end. The interconnect also includes an insulator bushing configured to be affixed to the receiving end of the housing. The interconnect also includes a center pin disposed within the housing. The center pin extends from the mating end of the housing to the receiving end of the housing. The interconnect also includes a connector socket disposed within the insulator bushing and which is in electrical communication with the center pin. The interconnect also includes an alignment sleeve including a chamfered mating funnel defining a void configured to accept and surround the housing and at least a portion of insulator bushing.
