Abstract
A power jack (1) includes a dielectric housing (10) and a central terminal (20) received in the dielectric housing. The dielectric housing includes a mating face (11), a cavity (130) in the mating face and an anti-mating portion (15) formed on an inner face of the cavity for preventing full insertion of a non-complementary power plug having a smaller transmission power than that of the power jack. The central terminal includes a contact section (21) extending into the cavity for electrically connecting with a complementary power plug.
