Power connector

A power connector comprising:

• an insulative housing defining a front receiving chamber and a rear receiving hole communicating with each other;
• an outer shell assembly enclosing the housing and defining a front opening with a plurality of inward tabs arranged along a periphery of said opening;
• a first contact disposed in the receiving chamber and defining ring-like base with a plurality of spring arms extending forwardly from the base and respectively engaged with the corresponding tabs, and a tail section extending downwardly beyond the housing;
• and
• a second contact disposed in the receiving hole and defining a mating portion extending into the receiving chamber and surrounded by the first contact, and a tail portion extending out of the housing behind the tail section of the first contact

A method of making a power connector comprising:

• providing a one piece insulative housing with a front receiving chamber and a rear receiving hole communicating with each other along a front-to-back direction, said front receiving chamber directly communicating with an exterior through a front mating opening in a front face of the housing;
• inserting a first contact into the rear receiving hole through said front mating opening and said front receiving chamber;
• bending a tail portion of the first contact to hold the first contact in position without back and forth moving relative to the housing;
• inserting a second contact into the front receiving chamber via said front mating opening wherein said second contact surrounds said first contact in said receiving chamber;
• and
• bending a tail section of the second contact to hold the second contact in position without back and forth moving relative to the housing.
