Abstract
An electrical power connector ( ) for use in a circuit board or backplane system comprises an insulative housing ( ) defining a chamber ( ) and an opening ( ) communicating with the chamber, and a pair of separated conductive contacts ( ) received in the chamber. A pair of protrusions ( ) extend from opposite sides of the opening. Each contact includes a contact plate ( ), a pair of longer contact fingers ( ) and a pair of shorter contact fingers ( ) between the longer fingers both extending from a front side of the contact plate and form longer and shorter contact sections ( ), respectively. Outside surfaces ( ) of the contact sections are gold plated for conductively contacting against a corresponding receptacle contact of a receptacle connector. The contact plate forms a blocking tab ( ) extending in a direction opposite to the plated outside surfaces for insertion between the protrusions of the housing.
