Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing (10) defining a passageway (11) therein, a power contact (20) received in the passageway and a fastening member (28) for mating with the power contact. The power contact includes a pair of contacting portions (21) and a connecting portion (22) connecting the pair of contacting portions. The pair of contacting portions is essentially parallel to each other and a spacing (210) is defined therebetween. The connecting portion includes a fastening portion (23) essentially perpendicular to the pair of contacting portions. The fastening member (28) is separately made from the power contact to fasten securely to the fastening portion (23). Thus, the power contact can be reliably fixed in the insulative housing.
