Abstract
A power connector mounting on a printed circuit board (PCB), includes an insulating housing, a number of power contacts received in the housing and a pair of spacers attached to the insulating housing. The insulating housing extends along a transversal direction and defines a number of passageways extending therethrough along a front-to-back direction. The insulating housing has a front wall, an opposite rear wall, a pair of side walls and a bottom wall with the passageway extending through the front wall and the rear wall. The spacer is assembled to the pairs of power contacts with locking members thereon for holding the power contacts in positions with respect to the insulating housing.
Claims15
A power connector mounting on a printed circuit board (PCB), comprising:
- an insulating housing extending along a transversal direction and defining a plurality of passageways extending therethrough along a front-to-back direction, said insulating housing having a front wall, an opposite rear wall, a pair of side walls and a bottom wall, said passageway opened from said front wall and said rear wall, respectively;
- and
- a plurality of pairs of flat power contacts received in corresponding passageways;
- and
- at least one spacer assembled to said pairs of power contacts with locking members thereon for holding said pairs of power contacts in positions with respect to said insulating housing, said spacer having a surface coplanar with a surface of said rear wall.
A power connector, comprising:
- an insulating housing extending along a transversal direction, said insulating housing comprising a mating face and a rear face and defining a plurality of passageways extending from said mating face to said rear face;
- pairs of power contacts received in corresponding passageways, each power contact defines a positioning slot in a rear side thereof;
- and
- at least one spacer assembled to said insulating housing, said spacer comprising an elongated main portion and a pair of locking members extending vertically from said elongated main portion, said main portion of said at least one spacer being engageable with said grooves of said power contacts to thereby secure the power contacts with respect to said insulating housing.
