This report describes the development of a high-voltage connector at the request of Scandinova Systems AB in Uppsala. The development process is described from the making of a customer demand specification, to the making of drawings for the manufacturing of prototypes. Scandinova develops high-voltage modulators, hence the need for connectors that can handle very large power pulses. Their current connector has several weaknesses that may cause the connector to melt or catch fire. The development began with a number of studies that included the modulator structure and the current connector structure and functions. In addition, to collect Further demands, requests or ideas for the new product a survey were distributed to the staff at Scandinova. All the collected information was summarized in a a customer demand specification. There after a wide variety of concepts were generated. The concepts were then compared, merged, improved, or rejected in order to get a stronger concept. The remaining concepts were then evaluated using a concept selection matrix. In consultation with Scandinovas R & D department it was then decided to further develop four of the concepts in 3D CAD. The selected concepts was then designed in detail and the material selection were made. This was followed by a final evaluation with Scandinova to evaluate the concepts. The evaluation showed that three of the concepts were still interesting. Therefore, drawings were produced for the remaining three concepts, the drawings were there after submitted to Scandinova for prototyping. This report shows that at least one of the concepts seems to be substantially better than Scandinovas current high-voltage connector.
