Abstract:
1. A plug connector comprising: a plug insulative housing comprising a first mating surface, a first plug cavity extending through the first mating surface along a transverse direction, and a first plate cantileveredly extending into the first plug cavity along the transverse direction, the plug insulative housing defining upper and lower plug contact slots in communication with the first plug cavity; and a pair of plug power contacts respectively received in the upper and lower plug contact slots, each plug power contact comprising a flat contacting section exposed to the first plug cavity and a first soldering section for being mounted to a circuit board; wherein the flat contacting sections of the pair of plug power contacts are positioned on upper and lower surfaces of the first plate, respectively; and wherein the plug insulative housing defining a heat dissipation channel in communication with the first plug cavity in order that heat generated by the flat contacting sections can be effectively dissipated to the air through the heat dissipation channel; wherein each plug power contact comprises a first bending section connected between the flat contacting section and the first soldering section, the first bending section defining at least one heat dissipation slot therethrough.
