Circular power connectors

An electrical connector comprising:

• an electrically insulative connector housing defining a receiving chamber configured to receive a cylindrical plug, the receiving chamber bound by an insulative wall of the housing;
• and
• a plurality of electrical terminals supported by the connector housing, each of the plurality of electrical terminals including:
• a base;
• a contact beam extending from said base, said contact beam including a contact portion;
• and
• a mounting portion that extends from said base and is monolithic with said base for mounting said terminal to a substrate;
• wherein at least a portion of the terminal is disposed within said insulative wall and at least a portion of said contact portion extends from said insulative wall into said chamber.

An electrical connector comprising:

• an electrically insulative connector housing defining a receiving chamber configured to receive a cylindrical plug, the receiving chamber bound by an insulative wall;
• and
• a plurality of electrical terminals supported by the connector housing, each of said plurality of electrical terminals including:
• a base;
• a contact beam extending from said base, said contact beam including a contact portion, and a mounting portion that extends from said base and is monolithic with said base for mounting said terminal to a substrate;
• and
• an anchor portion configured to anchor the terminals to said housing;
• wherein said plurality of electrical terminals are positioned in said housing in relation to said receiving chamber so that at least a portion of said contact portion extends from said insulative wall into said chamber.

An electrical assembly comprising:

• a cylindrical plug;
• and
• an electrical connector comprising:
• a plurality of electrical terminals, each of multiple ones of the plurality of terminals comprising:
• a base;
• a contact beam that extends from the base, the contact beam including a contact portion having a contact side;
• and
• a mounting portion that extends from the base for electrically connecting the terminal to an electrical circuit on a substrate;
• wherein:
• the plurality of electrical terminals are positioned cylindrically around an insertion axis to form a receptacle;
• contact sides of the plurality of electrical terminals face the insertion axis;
• and
• the cylindrical plug is positioned inside the receptacle in contact with contact sides of the multiple terminals forming an electrical connection between the cylindrical plug and the electrical circuit on the substrate.
