The mounting side is configured to interface with an electrical component. The power connector also includes first and second power contacts disposed within the receiving cavity and configured to be terminated to the electrical component. The power connector also includes a multi-function contact configured to be terminated to the electrical component. The multi-function contact includes a switch segment that is disposed within the receiving cavity. The switch segment has a mating interface that is configured to engage the first power contact and is capable of flexing between first and second positions. The mating interface engages the first power contact in the first position and is separated from the first power contact in the second position.
