Cable assembly having power contacts

An electrical connector comprising:

• an insulative housing defining a plurality of cavities extending therethrough in a front-to-back direction;
• plural pairs of vertical channels extending forwardly from a rear face of the housing and in communication with the corresponding cavities, respectively;
• plural pairs of horizontal slits extending forwardly from the rear face of the housing and in communication with the corresponding cavities, respectively;
• a plurality of contacts forwardly inserted into the corresponding cavities from the rear face, respectively, each of said contacts including:
• a horizontal planar intermediate portion having two opposite side edges received in the corresponding pair of slits, respectively;
• a pair of vertical arms extending vertically from two sides of the intermediate portion with a pair of tips received in the corresponding channels, respectively;
• a central contact beam obliquely extending from the intermediate portion between said pair of contact beams;
• and
• a pair of resilient side arms horizontally extending from the pair of vertically arms, respectively, toward each other.
