Power connector system

A supply charging device for a mobile device, the supply charging device comprising:

• a supply power connector having a supply housing extending between a front and a rear, the supply housing having a top and a bottom, the supply power connector having a mating end at the front, the mating end configured to be mated with a receive power connector of the mobile device along a mating axis, the supply power connector having a cable end at the bottom, the supply housing including a supply contact chamber at the mating end and a supply cable chamber at the cable end, the supply power connector including supply power contacts in the supply contact chamber for mating with the receive power connector along the mating axis, each supply power contact including a cable clamp including a cable space between a base and a clamp member, the clamp member moveable relative to the base between a clamped position and a released position, wherein a size of the cable space is smaller in the clamped position, the supply power connector including a data communication module at the mating end for electrical connection with the receive power connector;
• and
• a cable assembly coupled to the supply power connector and extending from the cable end at the bottom of the supply housing, the cable assembly including supply power cables terminated to the corresponding supply power contacts, the supply power cables extending along cable axes oriented non-parallel to the mating axis, each supply power cable including an end received in the cable space of the corresponding cable clamp, wherein the end of the supply power cable is compression connected between the base and the clamp member when in the clamped position, wherein the cable clamp includes a set screw operably coupled between the base and the clamp member, the set screw being tightened to move the clamp member from the released position to the clamped position to clamp to the end of the supply power cable.

A charging system comprising:

• a mobile charging device having a receive housing extending between a front and a rear, the receive housing having a top and a bottom, the receive power connector having a mating end at the front, the receive power connector having a cable end, the receive housing including a receive contact chamber at the mating end and a receive cable chamber at the cable end, the receive power connector including receive power contacts in the receive contact chamber, the receive power connector including a receive data communication module at the mating end, the mobile charging device including a receive cable assembly coupled to the receive power connector and extending from the cable end, the receive cable assembly including receive power cables terminated to the corresponding receive power contacts;
• and
• a supply charging device including a supply power connector having a supply housing extending between a front and a rear, the supply housing having a top and a bottom, the supply power connector having a mating end at the front, the mating end being mated with the mating end of the receive power connector along a mating axis, the supply power connector having a cable end at the bottom, the supply housing including a supply contact chamber at the mating end and a supply cable chamber at the cable end, the supply power connector including supply power contacts in the supply contact chamber for mating with the corresponding receive power contacts along the mating axis, the supply power connector including a supply data communication module at the mating end for electrical connection with the receive data communication module of the receive power connector, the supply charging device including a supply cable assembly coupled to the supply power connector and extending from the cable end at the bottom of the supply housing, the supply cable assembly including supply power cables terminated to the corresponding supply power contacts, the supply power cables extending along cable axes oriented non-parallel to the mating axis.
