Header power connector

A header power connector comprising:

• a header housing assembly including an outer housing having a first cavity and a second cavity, the header housing assembly including a first inner housing received in the first cavity and a second inner housing received in the second cavity, the first inner housing including a first terminal channel, the second inner housing including a second terminal channel, the first and second inner housings configured to receive upper busbars, the first and second inner housings configured to receive lower busbars;
• a first terminal received in the first terminal channel, the first terminal including an upper mating end having an upper socket configured to receive the corresponding upper busbar and a lower mating end having a lower socket configured to receive the corresponding lower busbar, the first terminal is configured to electrically connect the corresponding upper and lower busbars;
• and
• a second terminal received in the second terminal channel, the second terminal including an upper mating end having an upper socket configured to receive the corresponding upper busbar and a lower mating end having a lower socket configured to receive the corresponding lower busbar, the second terminal is configured to electrically connect the corresponding upper and lower busbars;
• wherein the first inner housing is movable at various tilt angles relative to the outer housing between a positive inner housing tilt position and a negative inner housing tilt position, the first inner housing being positionable at a no-tilt angle centered between the positive inner housing tilt position and the negative inner housing tilt position, the first inner housing movable relative to the outer housing to accommodate misalignment of the corresponding upper and lower busbars in the first terminal channel;
• wherein the second inner housing is movable at various tilt angles relative to the outer housing between a positive inner housing tilt position and a negative inner housing tilt position, the second inner housing being positionable at a no-tilt angle centered between the positive inner housing tilt position and the negative inner housing tilt position, the second inner housing movable relative to the outer housing to accommodate misalignment of the corresponding upper and lower busbars in the second terminal channel;
• wherein the first terminal is movable in the first terminal channel at various tilt angles relative to the first inner housing between a positive terminal tilt position and a negative terminal tilt position, the first terminal being positionable at a no-tilt angle centered between the positive terminal tilt position and the negative terminal tilt position, the first terminal movable relative to the first inner housing to accommodate misalignment of the corresponding upper and lower busbars in the first terminal channel;
• and
• wherein the second terminal is movable in the second terminal channel at various tilt angles relative to the second inner housing between a positive terminal tilt position and a negative terminal tilt position, the second terminal being positionable at a no-tilt angle centered between the positive terminal tilt position and the negative terminal tilt position, the second terminal movable relative to the second inner housing to accommodate misalignment of the corresponding upper and lower busbars in the second terminal channel.

A power connector system comprising:
