High power connection system

A high power connection system comprising:

• at least one male power terminal comprising a pair of contact blades and means for connecting a power cable thereto;
• a male connector having a forward end, said male connector having at least one male power terminal cavity for receiving therein a respective male power terminal, wherein the at least one contact blade of the received male power terminal projects from said forward end of the male connector;
• at least one female power terminal comprising an S-shape female contact providing a pair of blade seats, wherein each blade seat for contactably receives a respective contact blade of a pair of contact blades of a respective male power terminal, and further comprising means for connecting a power cable thereto;
• a female connector having a forward end, a nose frame being located at said forward end, said nose frame having a plurality of blade slots and a plurality of alignment slots, said female connector having at least one female power terminal cavity for receiving therein a respective female power terminal, wherein the female contact of the received female power terminal is located adjacent said forward end of said female connector, wherein said forward ends of said male and female connectors are configured to mutually mate such that each contact blade of each male power terminal passes through a respective blade slot and seats into a respective blade seat of a respective female power terminal;
• alignment tab means connected with said forward end of said male connector for alignably and indexably interfacing with the alignment slots of said nose frame when said male and female connectors are mutually mated.
