Abstract:
A power connector includes a housing having a terminal channel and a terminal received in the terminal channel including a mating pin at a front of the terminal and a cable connector at a rear of the terminal. The mating pin is positioned in the terminal channel for mating with a charging connector. The cable connector includes a pad configured to be terminated to a power cable. The power connector includes a heat exchanger thermally coupled to the pad of the terminal. The heat exchanger includes a coolant channel for coolant flow through the heat exchanger for actively cooling the terminal. The heat exchanger includes a thermally conductive separator electrically isolating the heat exchanger from the pad of the terminal.
