Patent ID: 7001189

Claim:
An electrical power connector mountable on a printed circuit board, comprising: an outer terminal of a generally inverted U-shape and including a pair of side walls joined by a top connecting beam, the side walls including upper sections and lower sections, a plurality of solder tails projecting downwardly along a bottom edge of the lower section of each side wall, and a blade portion projecting forwardly from an edge of the upper section of each side wall in a direction generally parallel to the circuit board whereby the blade portions are spaced from each other; an inner terminal of a generally inverted U-shape and nested in the outer terminal between the lower sections of the side walls thereof, the inner terminal including a pair of side walls joined by a top connecting beam, a plurality of solder tails projecting downwardly along a bottom edge of the side walls, and a blade portion projecting forwardly from an edge of each side wall in a spaced relationship and in a direction generally parallel to the circuit board beneath and generally coplanar with the respective blade portions of the outer terminal; and a dielectric housing overmolded about the side walls of the outer and inner terminals leaving the solder tails and the outside surfaces of the blade portions exposed, the housing having a projecting portion extending into the spacing between the respective blade portions of the two terminals against the inside surfaces of the blade portions.
