Power contact having current flow guiding feature and electrical connector containing same

摘要

An electrical contact for transmitting power to a printed circuit structure. The power contact comprises a main section that includes a first edge and an opposing second edge, and is made from electrically conductive material. A current-receiving interface is disposed between the main section first and second edges. And a plurality of terminals extend from the main section along the second edge. A void of electrically conductive material is formed in the main section for guiding current flow from the current-receiving interface to the terminals.
