Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulating housing, a number of power contacts and a number of signal contacts received in the insulating housing, and a power bus bar electrically and mechanically connecting with one power contact. The insulating housing defines an opening at a rear side thereof, and defines a number of first and second passageways extending therethrough and communicating with the opening. The power contacts are received in corresponding first passageways and the signal contacts are received in corresponding second passageways. Each power contact is composed by a pair of opposite power contact halves. Each power contact half defines a contacting end and an engaging end opposite to the contacting end. A fish-shape slot is defined between the two engaging ends.
