Electrical power connector

In accordance with one embodiment, an electrical connector has heat dissipation holes, and is configured to be mounted to a substrate having electrical traces that are partially offset from each other, and partially aligned with each other. The holes pass through a shroud of the electrical connector such that, when the electrical connector is mated with a second electrical connector, air flows outside a perimeter of the second electrical connector, and may cool the mated connectors as well as dissipate heat from the substrate.

Electrical connector including heat dissipation holes

In accordance with one embodiment, an electrical connector has a heat dissipation holes, and is configured to be mounted to a substrate having electrical traces that are partially offset from each other, and partially aligned with each other.

In accordance with one embodiment, an electrical connector can be mounted to a first printed circuit board to obtain a first current capacity, and the electrical connector can be mounted to a second printed circuit board to obtain a second current capacity that is lower than the first current capacity.

Replacement electrical connectors

A receptacle for an electrical connector assembly is provided and includes a housing having a contact retention portion for holding an electrical contact. The contact retention portion includes a connector face for engaging a plug assembly and a side proximate to the connector face. The receptacle also includes a guide post that is located adjacent to the side and extends along the side toward the connector face. The guide post includes a base and a tip. The guide post also has a curved contour and a planar side that extend from the base to the tip.
