A cable-end connector, a board-end connector and an assembly thereof are provided. The assembly of the cable-end connector and the board-end connector includes a cable-end connector and a board-end connector. The cable-end connector includes an outer casing, a first contact member, a second contact member, two cables and a first locking structure. The board-end connector is used to mate with the cable-end connector, and the board-end connector includes a circuit board, a third contact member, a fourth contact member and a second locking structure. By that the first contact member and the second contact member are arranged diagonally and the third contact member and the fourth contact member are arranged diagonally, the cable-end connector and the board-end connector can be reduced in width along a lateral direction, and designed spaces respectively for the first locking structure and the second locking structure can be reserved, in turn a space of the cable-end connector and a space of the board-end connector can be used effectively.

Cable-end connector, board-end connector and assembly thereof

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, and a pair of contacts which are secured together by a clamp mounted within the housing. Each electrical contact includes a planar body, spring fingers extending from a first end of the body, and a coupling extending from the body to couple the electrical contacts to the housing. A first deflection zone between the clamp and first ends of the spring fingers allows the spring fingers to deflect in a lateral direction to receive the conductive component within the receiving space. A second deflection zone between the first ends of the spring fingers and the second ends of the bodies allow the bodies and spring fingers to deflect in the lateral direction when the conductive component is received within the receiving space, but the conductive component is not directly aligned with the receiving space.

Connector

An electrical power connector includes a housing having channels formed in the housing from a mounting end to a mating end. The channels are configured to receive a first and second blade terminal having a flat contact with a wall disposed between the blade terminals. Projections are formed on the wall and the projections support the terminals while forming passages that allow air flow between the wall and the blade terminal in the channel.
