Abstract
A power connector includes a housing (10) defining a tube-like receiving chamber (16) extending through a front face (11) thereof and a receiving hole extending through a rear face (12) thereof, a first contact (20) extending into the receiving chamber, and a second contact (50) extending into the receiving hole. The receiving hole comprises a front section (17) and a rear section (18). The front section is communicating with the receiving chamber and is larger than the rear section in diameter thereof to form a step portion therebetween. The second contact (50) is a single piece and comprises an engaging portion (51) extending in the receiving chamber, a retaining portion (52) extending from the engaging portion and engaging with the step portion for preventing the second contact from moving rearwardly, and a connecting portion (53) extending from the retaining portion and comprising a bent portion engaging with the rear face of the housing for preventing the second contact from moving forwards.
