Power connector with grounding element

An electrical connector comprising:

• an insulative housing defining a tubular receiving cavity;
• a fastening member formed on one face of the housing;
• a biasing member secured to the housing and including a tail section located on said face, and a contacting section extending into said tubular receiving cavity around a top face of the housing;
• and
• a contact retained to the housing and including a contacting region extending into the tubular receiving cavity and a mounting region deflectably extending beyond a bottom face of the housing;
• wherein said biasing member includes a flat positioning portion, a bent elastic arm and a tongue portion;
• wherein the bent elastic arm and the tongue portion extend from a same end of the positioning portion;
• wherein the elastic arm comprises a pair of U-shaped branch portions extending from the positioning portion;
• wherein the tongue portion is located between the pair of U-shaped branch portions.

A power connector, comprising:

• an insulative housing defining at least one passage;
• at least a first contact to form anode of the power connector and a second contact to form cathode of the power connector received in the insulative housing and each contact having a contacting portion;
• and
• a biasing member received in the one passage of the insulative housing and comprising a flat positioning portion, a bent elastic arm respectively elastically bracing against the upper wall and the lower wall of said passage, and a tongue portion having a contacting portion and a grounding element to electrically connect outer electric element;
• wherein the contacting portion of the tongue portion is closer to the front surface of the power connector than the contacting portion of at least one of the first and second contacts;
• wherein the bent elastic arm and the tongue portion extend from a same end of the positioning portion;
• wherein the grounding element rearward and downwards extends along the rear surface of the insulative housing and comprises an L-shape main body and a tail portion.
