A power connector (240, 350) comprising: an electrically insulative connector housing (242, 352) defining a receiving chamber (247, 356) configured to receive a power plug; and a plurality of electrical terminals supported by the connector housing, each of the electrical terminals including: a base; a contact beam extending from said base, said contact beam including a contact portion, and a mounting portion that extends from said base and is monolithic with said base for mounting said terminal to a substrate; wherein said plurality electrical terminals are positioned in said housing in relation to said receiving chamber so that said at least a portion of said contact portion extends into said chamber, such that the power connector is configured to accommodate power plugs of varying sizes, characterized in that the contact beam further comprises an insertion portion, the contact portion being disposed between the base and the insertion portion, wherein the contact portion comprises a first contact side and an opposite second contact side, and the first contact side of the contact portion flares away from the second contact side of the contact portion as it extends in a direction away from the base, wherein the insertion portion comprises a first insertion side and a second insertion side, and the first insertion side of the insertion portion is angled relative to the second insertion side of the insertion portion such that the width of electrical power terminal becomes smaller along the insertion portion in a direction away from base, and wherein the first contact side of the contact portion and the first insertion side of the insertion portion join together at an interface that can be defined by an apex of the contact beam, wherein said receiving chamber (247, 356) defines an insertion axis and wherein said contact beam extends away from said base at an angle towards said insertion axis. an electrically insulative connector housing (242, 352) defining a receiving chamber (247, 356) configured to receive a power plug; and a plurality of electrical terminals supported by the connector housing, each of the electrical terminals including: a base; a contact beam extending from said base, said contact beam including a contact portion, and a mounting portion that extends from said base and is monolithic with said base for mounting said terminal to a substrate; wherein said plurality electrical terminals are positioned in said housing in relation to said receiving chamber so that said at least a portion of said contact portion extends into said chamber, such that the power connector is configured to accommodate power plugs of varying sizes, characterized in that the contact beam further comprises an insertion portion, the contact portion being disposed between the base and the insertion portion, wherein the contact portion comprises a first contact side and an opposite second contact side, and the first contact side of the contact portion flares away from the second contact side of the contact portion as it extends in a direction away from the base, wherein the insertion portion comprises a first insertion side and a second insertion side, and the first insertion side of the insertion portion is angled relative to the second insertion side of the insertion portion such that the width of electrical power terminal becomes smaller along the insertion portion in a direction away from base, and wherein the first contact side of the contact portion and the first insertion side of the insertion portion join together at an interface that can be defined by an apex of the contact beam, wherein said receiving chamber (247, 356) defines an insertion axis and wherein said contact beam extends away from said base at an angle towards said insertion axis. a base;
