US 11,637,394 B2 · Electrical connector having power contacts assembled in a height direction

Abstract

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing and a plurality of power contact pairs, the insulative housing has a mounting section for installing on a printed circuit board, a mating section and a plurality of contact-receiving passageways extending along a front-and-back direction. The power contact pairs are retained in corresponding contact-receiving passageways and divided into two rows along a height direction, each power contact pair in each row has two flaky power contacts, each power contact has a retaining portion held in the relative contact-receiving passageway, at least one contacting portion extending forwards from the retaining portion and at least one soldering portion bending from a rear end of the retaining portion. One row of power contact pairs is assembled into the insulative housing along a back-to-front direction, and the other row of power contact pairs is assembled into the insulative housing in an up-and-down direction.
