[0002] The motor controller is a core component in the design of electric and hybrid power systems, primarily responsible for DC-to-AC conversion and controlling motor torque and speed. In recent years, with market development, the switching frequency of motor controller power modules has been continuously increasing, while customer requirements for EMC (Electronic Mobility Compatibility) of motor controllers have also been rising, making the EMC issues of the entire controller system more prominent.

[0003] Currently, some high-voltage DC connectors lack electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) capabilities, while others only have a grounded shield, resulting in limited EMC. To ensure good EMC capabilities (differential and common-mode interference), most controllers incorporate complex, multi-stage filter structures, occupying significant internal space and increasing material, manufacturing, and installation costs.

[0004] Utility model patent CN210123877U discloses a controller bus input device, including a fixed base, a positive copper busbar, a negative copper busbar, an X capacitor, and two Y capacitors. The positive copper busbar is mounted on the fixed base, the negative copper busbar is mounted on the fixed base, the X capacitor is mounted on the fixed base and its two terminals are respectively connected to the positive copper busbar and the negative copper busbar; and the two Y capacitors are mounted on the fixed base, one Y capacitor's two terminals are respectively connected to the positive copper busbar and the ground wire, and the other Y capacitor's two terminals are respectively connected to the negative copper busbar and the ground wire. The positive and negative copper busbars in this patent are both straight sheets, resulting in a large overall size, and there is still room for size reduction.

[0005] Therefore, providing a high-voltage DC connector that can improve electromagnetic compatibility and reduce size is an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

The high-voltage connector body 1 is an integral injection-molded structure, specifically including a positive copper busbar 11, a negative copper busbar 12, a grounding copper plate 13, and a grounding screw bushing 14.
