Patent ID: 8727796

Claim:
An electrical power connector comprising: a connector housing including first and second walls that are spaced from each other so as to define a receptacle, the first wall including a plurality of first dividers that extend toward the second wall and the second wall including a plurality of second dividers that extend toward the first wall; a first row of first power contacts supported by the housing, each first power contact defining a first mating end that extends at least partially into the receptacle; and a second row of second power contacts supported by the housing at a location spaced from the first row of first power contacts, each second power contact defining a second mating end that extends at least partially into the receptacle, wherein (i) the first mating ends are separated from each other by the first dividers such that a minimum creep distance between adjacent first mating ends measured along surfaces of a respective divider of the plurality of first dividers is between about 2 mm and about 4 mm, (ii) the second mating ends are separated from each other by the second dividers such that a minimum creep distance between adjacent second mating ends measured along surfaces of a respective second divider of the plurality of second dividers is between about 2 mm and about 4 mm, and (iii) the electrical power connector has a maximum working voltage that is greater than 100 V.
