Abstract
A power connector (1) comprises a conductive main body (10), a dielectric shell (50), a metallic pin (30) with knurls (332) and a number of metal terminals (40) secured in the main body. The main body defines a longitudinally extending passage (13), two rows of first and second passageways (152, 162) and two channels (110) at lateral sides thereof. Each channel extends toward the passage and communicates with the passageways. Lower portions of the second passageways communicate with a slit (164) defined from a bottom surface (102) of the main body. Each terminal forms a retention portion (41) at which the terminals are interconnected, a mating portion (42) providing an inwardly projecting stem (423), and a soldering portion (43). The retention portions of the terminals of the same row are received in the same slit and form a plurality of projections (412) abutting against an outer side of the slit. The stems of the mating portions inwardly project into the channels, whereby the stems tightly abut against an abutting surface (105) of the main body.
