Abstract
A bulkhead connector (100,200) includes an array of bus bars (150,250) extending from a first face to a second face for interconnecting associated power cables (20,30) on opposing sides of the bulkhead (10). Embedded within the connector is a substrate (b 130,230) of fire resistant material extending transversely completely across the bulkhead opening (12), with apertures (144,244) through which extend the bus bars. Exposed contact sections (152,154;252,254) of the bus bars permit terminals (24,34) to be fastened thereto, and the connector is adapted to prevent rotation of the fastened terminals during in-service use.
