Abstract
A power connector includes a housing having a first terminal channel and an opening to the first terminal channel. The power connector includes a first power terminal received in the first terminal channel having a base configured to be coupled to a power element and contacts extending from the base for mating with a bus bar. The base is aligned with the opening to receive a fastener. The power connector includes a shroud slidable along the housing between an unactuated position and an actuated position. The shroud exposes the opening and the fastener in the unactuated position and covers the fastener in the actuated position.
