1. An electrical connector assembly, comprising:
a connector housing in which a pair of electrically conductive busbars are disposed;
a metallic cooling plate in thermal communication with major surfaces of the pair of electrically conductive busbars; and
an isolator ring surrounding the cooling plate which defines a pair of openings through which the cooling plate thermally communicates with the major surfaces of the pair of electrically conductive busbars, the isolator ring defines a separating fin disposed between one busbar of the pair of electrically conductive busbars and another busbar of the pair of electrically conductive busbars, the separating fin is configured to prevent electrical contact between the pair of electrically conductive busbars.
