<p>PURPOSE: To conduct a relatively high current as well as a relatively low current through one connector by retaining two groups of electrical contacts within a base member, in such a manner as to offset a first group of electrical contacts from a second group of electrical contacts substantially in parallel therewith. CONSTITUTION: A base member 12, including a first portion 24 and a second portion 26, is provided in substantially parallel with a longitudinal axis. A first group of electrical contacts 14, arranged in the recessed of the first portion 24 and the second portion 26, is offset from a second group of electrical contacts 16. The two groups of electrical contacts substantially in parallel with each other are retained in the base member 12. That is, the first group of the electrical contacts 14 adjacent to the first portion 24 is positioned, so that the second group of the electrical contacts 16 can be engaged with the first group of the electrical contacts 14, before it is engaged with either of the parallel surfaces. In this manner, different currents can flow through the contacts respectively by surface contact engagement. Consequently, this power connector can carry different currents flowing through the contacts.</p> |
