The housing has a pair of end walls (103) including a top wall and a bottom wall, a rear wall (104), a pair of side walls (102), and a receiving space (105) defined therebetween for receiving the complementary plug. The rear wall defines a number of receiving channels (113). The top wall defines a top surface (117) and a plurality of receiving slots (111) opened on the top surface. Each contact includes a retention portion (201), a contact portion (202) and a tail portion (205).

Abstract: A power connector assembly includes a first connector (100) having a first insulating housing (110) forming a front face (114) and a rear face (115). A number of passageways (101) are defined in the first insulating housing and extending through the front face and the rear face. A number of first contacts (120) are retained in the passageways, respectively. A second connector (200) includes a second insulating housing (210) having a front surface (214) and a rear surface (215). A number of passageways (201) are defined in the second insulating housing and extending through the front surface and the rear surface. A number of second contacts (220) are retained in the passageways, respectively. When the first connector and the second connector are mated with each other along a mating direction, a number of airflow holes (102) are defined between the front face of the first connector and the front surface of the second connector for heat dissipation.

Abstract: An electrical connector for electrically connecting with a complementary connector includes an insulative housing defining a number of contact-receiving passages, and a number of conductive contacts respectively received in the contact-receiving passages adapted for electrically connecting with conductive contacts of the complementary connector and generating heat. The insulative housing defines a pair of first heat-radiating channels located at opposite lateral sides thereof and extending through the insulative housing along a mating direction, and at least one second heat-radiating channel extending through the insualtive housing along the mating direction and located between at least a pair of contact-receiving passages adjacent thereto. The heat generated by the conductive contacts is capable of radiated out of the insualtive housing through the first heat-radiating channels and the at least one second heat-radiating channel.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulative housing extending in a front-to-back direction and including a rear base portion and a front tongue portion, and first and second sets of contacts held in the insulative housing. The first set of contacts includes at least one pair of differential contacts for transmitting high-speed signals. Each first contact includes a nonelastic first mating portion occupying a front section of the tongue portion. Each of the second set of contacts includes an elastic second mating portion located behind the nonelastic first mating portion along the front-to-back direction. The first and second sets of contacts are assembled to the insulative housing along opposite directions. The first and second body portions are provided with interference sections thereon to interferentially engage with the insulative housing. The first mating portion of each first contact is provided with interference sections to engage with the tongue portion of the insulative housing.
