Abstract:
1. An electrical power connector, comprising: an insulative housing comprising at least one contact-receiving passage extending along a front-to-back direction; at least one pair of power contacts assembled to the at least one contact-receiving passage, and the pair of power contacts arranged oppositely along an up-to-down direction and cooperating with each other; wherein each of the at least one pair of power contacts comprises a cable termination portion, a contacting portion and an intermediate portion connecting the cable termination portion and the contacting portion; wherein one lateral edge of the intermediate portion is a first latching portion, and the other lateral edge of the intermediate portion is a second latching portion; wherein when the pair of power contacts are assembled together, the first latching portion of one power contact cooperates with the second latching portion of the other power contact, while the second latching portion of the one power contacts cooperates with the first latching portion of the other power contact to thereby form a hollow frame therebetween along an up-to-down direction; wherein the first latching portion defines a positioning slit therein along a mating direction of the power connector, and wherein the second latching portion bends vertically from the intermediate portion and forms a positioning slice at a free end thereof to be inserted into the positioning slit; wherein the second latching portion forms a cantilevered beam bending outwardly therefrom and adjacent to the positioning slice, and wherein the at least one contact-receiving passage defines a restriction recess on inner side thereof to cooperate with the cantilevered beam.
