A power connector system has a male member, a female member and a contact member. A cable is attached to the male member. The female member has a U-shaped channel. The contact member is U-shaped and is received in the channel. The side walls of the channel have outer edges defining an outer opening to the channel and end edges defining an end opening to the channel. The male member has a single blade which is insertable into the contact member either though the outer opening or through the end opening.

Single blade terminal power connector system

Disclosed herein is an electrical female terminal which comprises a direct current path between a contact region defined by a plurality of circumferentially spaced contact vanes formed as beams having opposite ends connected to terminal body portions and wherein each vane is twisted on its length to provide a radially inwardly directed contact on a beam that provides a torsional force component that increases normal forces for providing electrical contact without producing a commensurate increase in the force required to engage a pin within the contact region.

High current terminal

A sleeve and post terminals combination, wherein a single piece sleeve terminal which is slidingly interfaced with a smooth surfaced post terminal for high current circuit applications. The sleeve terminal is formed from sheet metal stock, having an inner sleeve component and an outer sleeve component. The inner sleeve component includes three circumferentially spaced electrical contracts. The post terminal is configured to be snugly received by the inner sleeve component, wherein the three contacts are radially forced against the post terminal. The post terminal preferably has a bullet nose and has a smooth surface. In a preferred environment of operation, the post terminal is connected with a BEDC, and the sleeve terminal is connected with a high current capacity wire.
