Abstract

A connector for a power module to selectively engage metallic pads positioned on the backplate printed circuit board is disclosed. The connector includes a first set of contacts and a second set of contacts positioned such that the first set of contacts makes engagement with the metallic pads before the second set of contacts make such engagement. The contacts are capable of carrying relatively high current.
