Title:
POWER CONNECTOR
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2003151669
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a power connector enhancing heat dissipation, and having proper contact force.

A pair of mating connectors has an insulation housing, and a pair of walls 50, 52 forming a plug contact receiving space 56. The walls of an receptacle contact are connected by a bridging 74 structure that connect the walls. The plug and receptacle contacts are retained in the respective housings by engaging opposed lateral edge portions of the contacts with the housings in a manner to enhance heat dissipation by convection by maintaining substantial portions of the contacts spaced from the housing walls and from each other. The bridging structure has a retention element for engaging respective connector housings to retain the contact in the housings. The open structure of both the receptacle and plug contacts enhances heat dissipation and allows flexibility in achieving desired normal contact forces.
