전기 차량 또는 하이브리드 전기 차량의 배터리 팩과 추진 시스템 사이의 전기의 흐름을 제어하는 고전압 전기 센터와 같은 전기 조립체(10). 조립체(10)가, 복수의 상응하는 정합 커넥터를 수용하고 그러한 정합 커넥터와 정합되도록 구성된 복수의 전기 커넥터(14) 및 복수의 전기 커넥터(14)로 상호 연결된 복수의 전기 장치를 수용하는 하우징을 포함한다. 하우징이 벌크헤드(12)를 포함하고, 그러한 벌크헤드는, 복수의 전기 커넥터(14) 내의 각각의 커넥터를 축방향으로 둘러싸는 복수의 커넥터 측판부를 형성한다. 각각의 커넥터 측판부가 상응하는 정합 커넥터의 커넥터 본체를 수용하도록 구성된다. 복수의 커넥터 측판부가 벌크헤드(12)에 통합된다. 벌크헤드(12), 및 그에 의한 측판부가, 유전성 매트릭스 내에 전기 전도성 섬유를 수용하는 복합 전도성 재료로 형성될 수 있을 것이다. An electrical assembly, such as a high voltage electrical center that controls the flow of electricity between a battery pack and the propulsion system of an electric or hybrid electric vehicle. The assembly includes a plurality of electrical connectors configured to receive and mate with a plurality of corresponding mating connectors and a housing containing a plurality of electrical devices interconnected to the plurality of electrical connectors. The housing includes a bulkhead defining a plurality of connector shrouds that axially surrounds each connector in the plurality of electrical connectors. Each connector shroud is configured to receive a connector body of a corresponding mating connector. The plurality of connector shrouds is integral to the bulkhead. The bulkhead, and thereby the shrouds, may be formed of a composite conductive material containing electrically conductive fibers within a dielectric matrix.
