Electrical connector assembly having enlarged mating power contacts

摘要

An electrical connector assembly includes a plug connector including an insulative housing, a number of signal contacts, and a pair of power contacts, the power contacts being insert-molded with the insulative housing; and a mating receptacle connector including an insulative housing, a number of signal contacts, and a pair of power contacts, the power contacts being insert molded with the insulative housing. Each of the plug power contacts is one-piece and has two opposing side plates, two opposing end plates interconnected with the side plates, and a soldering portion. Each of the receptacle power contacts is one-piece and has two opposing side plates, two opposing end plates interconnected with the side plates, and a soldering portion. The four side and end plates of the plug power make contact with and are received within the four plates of the receptacle power contact when the plug and receptacle connectors are mated.
