Abstract:
1. A power connector, adapted for electrically connecting with a cable, comprising: an insulative housing defining a plurality of passageways extending therethrough, each of said plurality of passageways providing a latching arm formed therein, said insulative housing defining a latching recess recessed from an inside face of said passageway; and a plurality of contacts received in corresponding passageways, each contact having a base section, a contact section extending from said base section, a retention section extending oppositely from said base section, and a side section extending perpendicularly from edges of said base section, said side section having a first side wall and a second side wall, the first and the second side walls extending parallel from said base section between said contact section and said retention section; wherein said base section of said contact defines a latching hole receiving said latching arm of said insulative housing; wherein at least one of said first and said second side walls forms a beam projecting outwardly therefrom; wherein said beam of said contact is received in said latching recess to thereby prevent said contact from displacement along a contact insertion direction.
