A hybrid board-and-cable electrical connector for high-current, low-current, and signal transmission. The connector includes a board-side connector module and a cable-side connector module detachably coupled together. The board-side module includes a housing having first and second cavities respectively receiving high-power terminals and signal wafers. Each high-power terminal includes an elastic arm and a tail portion for board connection, and each signal wafer includes signal terminals for signal transmission. The cable-side module includes low-power terminal subassemblies with corresponding terminal position assurance (TPA) devices. Coordinated engagement between position-limiting slots, projections, and elastic arms stabilizes the terminals and wafers, enabling reliable high-current and signal transmission, convenient assembly and maintenance, and enhanced heat dissipation. The techniques described herein can provide a modular and configurable connector architecture in which high-power terminals, low-power terminals, and signal terminals are structurally combined to achieve reliable electrical and mechanical performance.
