An output connector for a high voltage, high current power unit, including a plug assembly including a dielectric plug body having two conductive biplates arranged generally parallel to each other. The two conductive biplates abut a dielectric biplate backer and the two conductive biplates are separated by the dielectric biplate backer. A header assembly includes a dielectric header body presenting two substantially parallel, inwardly facing, vertical support walls on opposing sides of the receptacle recess. A bus bar assembly includes two contactors coupled to a flexible bus bar and abutting the vertical support walls. The two contactors are arranged such that a space exists between the contactors. A ring assembly is couplable to the plug assembly and structured to force the plug assembly axially inward to the header assembly whereby the biplates and the biplate backer are forced between the contactors.

1. An output connector for a high voltage, high current power unit, comprising: a plug assembly including a dielectric plug body having two conductive biplates arranged generally parallel to each other along at least part of their length, each of the two conductive biplates abutting a dielectric biplate backer and the two conductive biplates separated by the dielectric biplate backer and presenting outwardly facing exposed surfaces on opposed sides of the biplate backer, a combination of the biplates and the biplate backer having a thickness;a header assembly including a dielectric header body having a receptacle recess and presenting two substantially parallel, inwardly facing, vertical support walls on opposing sides of the receptacle recess;a bus bar assembly including two contactors disposed in the receptacle recess, each of the two contactors being electrically and mechanically coupled to a flexible bus bar and each of the two contactors having an outwardly facing surface operably abutting the vertical support walls and the two contactors being arranged such that a space exists between the contactors, the space being sized a predetermined amount smaller than the thickness of the combination of the biplates and the biplate backer and to receive the biplate backer and biplates therein and between the contactors and the contactors to be forced outwardly against the vertical support walls; anda ring assembly operably couplable to the plug assembly and structured to force the plug assembly axially inward to the header assembly whereby the biplates and the biplate backer are forced between the contactors. 2. The output connector as claimed in claim 1, at least one of the two biplates having a straight portion and a tapered portion, the tapered portion being located at a first end of the at least one biplate that is distal from a second end of the at least one biplate to which a conductor is attachable. 3. The output connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the dielectric plug body further comprises an inner extension portion, an outer extension portion and a centrally located disk portion between the inner extension portion and the outer extension portion. 4. The output connector as claimed in claim 3, further comprising at least one biplate ridge extending outwardly away from the outer extension portion through which one of the two biplates pass. 5. The output connector as claimed in claim 3, further comprising at least one endplate extending substantially perpendicular to the two biplates and to the biplate backer along an edge of the biplate backer. 6. The output connector as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a dust cap having a large ring having an inner diameter sized to slip fit over the dielectric header body and a small ring having an outer diameter sized to slip fit into a connector opening in a housing of the high voltage, high current power unit. 7. The output connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ring assembly further comprises a thread on ring couplable to the plug assembly and a ring receiver mateable to the thread on ring, the ring receiver being securable to a housing of the high voltage, high current power unit by a housing interface. 8. The output connector as claimed in claim 7, wherein the ring assembly further comprises a low friction plastic ring positioned to be compressible between the thread on ring and the ring receiver when the thread on ring and the ring receiver are mated. 9. The output connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the flexible bus bar comprises an L-shaped structure having a first limb coupled to the contactor and second limb coupleable to terminal of the high voltage, high current power unit. 10. The output connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the bus bar assembly further comprises a backer bar and at least one fastener, the backer bar being structured to engage the flexible bus bar to provide uniform loading of the flexible bus bar onto a terminal of the high voltage, high current power unit and the fastener being structured to couple to the terminal of the high voltage, high current power unit. 11. The output connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the header body further presents two support shelves upon which the contactors are operably supported, the support shelves presenting a surface generally perpendicular to the vertical support walls. 12. The output connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the header body further presents a rail centrally located therein and the plug body presents a rail receiving slot mateable with the rail. 13. The output connector as claimed in claim 2, wherein the straight portion of the two biplates and the contactors are positioned such that when the two biplates are fully inserted between the contactor, contact is made between the biplates and the contactors in the straight portion of the biplates. 14. The output connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ring assembly further comprises a thread on ring and the thread on ring presents a tool interface structured to receive a standard square drive tool whereby the thread on ring can be turned to tighten and loosen the thread on ring. 15. The output connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ring assembly further comprises a thread on ring and the thread on ring includes drain holes therein. 16. The output connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the contactors are secured to the header body by fasteners.
