Patent ID: 7147487

Claim:
A power connector ( 13 ) for a power circuit comprising conductive plates fixed on an insulating plate, the connector comprising: an insulating socket ( 14 ) provided with a bearing face ( 15 ) bearing on the circuit, and provided with a housing ( 16 ) having a laterally disposed opening ( 17 ); at least one pin ( 18 , 19 ) passing through the bearing face perpendicular to the bearing face, the pin having a connection portion ( 22 , 27 ) which extends into the housing, the connection portion comprising two faces ( 23 , 28 ) which are parallel with a plane that is perpendicular to a plane of the laterally disposed opening, the pin being formed, at least in part, from a tab which is cut out from one of the conductive plates and is folded so as to extend perpendicularly to the conductive plates; an insulating support ( 31 ) arranged to be inserted, at least in part, in the housing through the opening; at least one plug ( 34 ) secured to the insulating support and provided with two flexible tabs ( 35 ) for pressing against the faces of the connection portion of the pin a plurality of pins ( 18 , 19 ) positioned in the insulating socket ( 14 ), the plurality of pins arranged in at least a first row of pins and a second row of pins, the first row of pins and second row of pins being offset relative to each other, and a plurality of plugs ( 34 ) disposed in the insulating support ( 31 ) and arranged to correspond to the first and second offset rows of pins; wherein the conductive plates comprise holes at rear sections.
