Abstract
An electrical connector includes a housing that extends between a front and a rear. The housing has a chamber at the rear. The housing has a terminal channel between the front and the rear. A terminal is coupled to the housing. The terminal includes a mating pin at a front of the terminal and a cable connector at a rear of the terminal. The mating pin is positioned in the terminal channel for mating with a charging connector. The cable connector is positioned in the chamber at the rear of the housing. A terminal heat exchanger is positioned in the chamber. The terminal heat exchanger is thermally coupled to the cable connector of the terminal. The terminal heat exchanger has a separator electrically isolating the terminal heat exchanger from the terminal.
