ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS WITH AIR-CIRCULATION AND POLARIZATION FEATURES

摘要

Embodiments of electrical connectors (10) include features that facilitate circulation of air through and around the electrical connectors. The air can cool the power contacts (24) of the electrical connectors (10), thereby allowing the power contacts (24) to operate at higher currents that would otherwise be possible. The contacts are polarized to help prevent improper or incomplete insertion of the contacts in a housing (22).
