Abstract

An electrical connector assembly (10) includes a connector housing (16) defining a cavity (18) in which an electrical bus bar (14) is disposed. The connector housing (16) defines an opening to the cavity (18). The electrical connector assembly (10) also includes a cover (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600) attached to the connector housing (16) and configured to cool the electrical bus bar (14) and to be arranged proximate to the electrical bus bar (14) to extract heat from the electrical bus bar (14). The cover (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600) is selected from a plurality of cover designs configuredto actively or passively cool the electrical bus bar (14).
