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.

Abstract: A power connector is provided that is configured to conduct a current and includes a conductive frame including a base structure, an extension structure, and a cap structure that define a current path for the current. The base structure is configured to be coupled to a current supply for receiving the current therefrom. The cap structure is configured to be coupled to an electrical interface of a device to be supplied with the current and outputs the current from the connector to the electrical interface of the device. The extension structure is coupled to and vertically extends between the base structure and the cap structure. The extension structure includes a current constriction region that is configured to cause a defined magnetic field of the current flowing through the current constriction region at a predefined position.

Abstract: A power connector is provided that is configured to conduct a current. The power connector includes a base structure, an extension structure, and a connector head structure that define a current path for the current. The base structure is coupled to an output node of a primary conductor and receives the current from the primary conductor. The connector head structure is configured to output the current from the power connector to the load. The extension structure is coupled to and extends between the base structure and the connector head structure. The extension structure includes a current constriction region configured to increase a magnetic flux density of a magnetic field produced by the current flowing through the current constriction region at a position of a magnetic current sensor that generates a sensor signal based on the magnetic field magnetic field produced by the current flowing through the current constriction region.
