An embodiment of the present invention provides a high-voltage connector 500 comprising a first high-voltage connection interface comprising first and second high-voltage pins 506A, 506B and first and second high-voltage interlock pins 508A, 508B; a second high-voltage connection interface comprising third and fourth high-voltage pins 506C, 506D and third and fourth high-voltage interlock pins 508C, 508D and a high voltage interlock connection interface 512, wherein the first high-voltage pin is electrically connected to the third high-voltage pin, the second high-voltage pin is electrically connected to the fourth high-voltage pin, the first high-voltage interlock pin is electrically connected to the third high-voltage interlock pin, and the second and fourth high-voltage interlock pins are electrically connected to the high-voltage interlock connection interface. An inline connector body 520 for a high-voltage inline connector is also disclosed where the high-voltage pins and interlock pins are provided at first and second headers 502 mounted on the connector body (figure 4). The high-voltage connector may be used to connect to a high-voltage harness (156, 158 figure 5) such as in an electric or hybrid vehicle.
