Abstract:
An electrical connection element is for a power connector. The power connector has an electrical component including a first insulative housing and a first mating assembly having first electrical mating members structured to be substantially enclosed by the first insulative housing, and a first driving apparatus. The electrical connection element includes: a second insulative housing; and a second mating assembly including: second electrical mating members structured to be electrically connected to the first electrical mating members, a second driving apparatus cooperating with the first driving apparatus, and a link assembly including linking members cooperating with the second electrical mating members and the second driving apparatus. The second mating assembly moves between a first position corresponding to the second electrical mating members being substantially enclosed by the second insulative housing, and a second position corresponding to the second electrical mating members being partially disposed external the second insulative housing.
