Embodiment Construction

[0021] In further description of the drawings, the present invention is embodied in the power connector 10 shown in FIGS. 1-3. The connector is very simple and comprises a one-piece, cast housing 12 and external and internal terminals, generally referred to as 13, 14 respectively in Fig. 4 . The external terminal 14 has a pair of wing portions 18 , and the internal terminal 16 has a pair of wing portions 20 . The wing portion of one terminal is coplanar with the wing portion of the other terminal, and the two wing portions of each terminal are spaced from each other, as can be seen in FIG. 3 .

[0022] Referring to FIG. 5 together with FIG. 4 , the external terminal 14 has a substantially inverted U-shaped structure. The external terminal includes a pair of side walls 22 connected by a top connecting rod 24 . The side wall 22 includes an upper region 22a and a lower region 22b. A plurality of solder tails 24 project downwardly along the lower edge 26 of each sidewall lower ...

Abstract

An electrical power connector is mountable on a printed circuit board. The connector includes an outer terminal and an inner terminal, both of which are of generally inverted U-shaped configurations, with the inner terminal nested in the outer terminal. Solder tails project downwardly from bottom edges of side walls of the two terminals. Both terminals have a pair of blade portions projecting forwardly from the respective side walls of the terminals, whereby the blade portions of each terminal are spaced from each other. The blade portions of one terminal are generally coplanar with the blade portions of the other terminal. A dielectric housing is overmolded about the side walls of the outer terminal, leaving the solder tails and the outside surfaces of the blade portions exposed. The housing has a projecting portion extending into the spacing between the blade portions of the two terminals against the inside surfaces of the blade portions, leaving the outside surfaces of the blade portions exposed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of electrical connectors, and in particular to power connectors, and more particularly to power connectors for mounting on printed circuit boards. Background technique [0002] Generally, an electrical connector includes a dielectric or insulative housing that mounts one or more conductive terminals. The housing is provided for mating with an auxiliary mating connector or other connection device having one or more conductive terminals. Connectors typically include a pair of mating connectors such as plug and socket connectors, sometimes referred to as male and female connectors. [0003] Various types of electrical connectors are designed for mounting on printed circuit boards. The terminals have terminating ends for connection to appropriate circuit traces on the board, such as solder tails for soldering to circuit traces on the board and / or to holes in the board. [0004] One type of connector-m...
