Vibration resistant high-power electrical connector

An electrical connector system comprising:

• a first connector having a body and a first mating face, the mating face including a plurality of cantilevered fingers extending outwardly from a first surface thereof, each of the plurality of cantilevered fingers having a free end opposite the first surface, wherein each cantilevered finger is spaced apart from an adjacent cantilevered finger by a gap;
• and
• a second connector having a second mating face including a conductive central core and a plurality of fins radiating outwardly from the central core, the fins forming a plurality of slots equal in number to the plurality of cantilevered fingers of the first connector;
• wherein, when the first and second connectors are mated, each cantilevered finger of the plurality of cantilevered fingers is seated within a corresponding slot formed by the fins of the second connector, each cantilevered finger and respective fins defining an overlap region measured from the free end of the cantilevered finger to a corresponding terminal endpoint of the respective fins, the overlap region having a length ranging between 20% to 40% of an overall length of the cantilevered finger as measured from the first surface of the mating face to the free end, and wherein the cantilevered fingers, slots, and fins cooperate to minimize lateral and rotational movement of the fingers to improve vibration resistance of the electrical connector system.
