Abstract:
A power connector is provided that is configured to conduct a current. The power connector includes a conductive frame including a base structure, an extension structure, and a cap structure that define a connector volume. The base structure is coupled to an output node of a primary conductor and receives the current from the primary conductor. The cap structure is configured to mechanically couple the power connector to a load and outputs the current from the power connector to the load. The extension structure is coupled to and extends between the base structure and the cap structure. The extension structure includes a current constriction region configured to cause a defined magnetic field of the current flowing through the current constriction region at a position of a magnetic current sensor that generates a sensor signal based on the defined magnetic field produced by the current flowing through the current constriction region.
