Abstract

A power connector can include a dielectric connector housing and electrical contacts that are supported by the housing. The electrical contacts can each include first and second contact bodies. The first contact body can include a first contact blade and the second contact body can include a second contact blade that can define a mating portion of the electrical contact. The mating portion can be configured to mate with a complementary power connector along a mating direction so as to establish an electrical connection between the power connector and the complementary power connector. The contact blades can be configured slide with respect to each other along the mating direction.
