Abstract: A power connector includes a housing having a mating slot at a front having terminal channels holding power terminals between the slot and the corresponding side of the housing. Each power terminal includes a plate extending from the slot through a rear of the housing to an exterior of the housing for termination to a corresponding power element. The power terminal has a contact array of contacts discrete from and coupled to the plate. Each contact has a plate interface electrically coupled to the plate and a bus bar interface configured to be electrically coupled to a corresponding rail of the bus bar. The contacts are arranged along a corresponding side of the slot for interfacing with the bus bar.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly for a communication system includes a housing and a wafer assembly including a PCB terminated contact wafer and a cable terminated contact wafer arranged in a wafer stack. The PCB terminated contact wafer includes a first contact array having first signal contacts having mating portions and terminating ends for termination to a printed circuit board of the communication system. The cable terminated contact wafer includes a second contact array having second signal contacts and a second contact holder having a mating interface and holding terminating ends of the second signal contacts at the mating interface for electrically connection to a cable connector of a cable assembly.

Abstract: A communication system includes a first circuit card assembly having a first PCB and a first electrical connector having a receptacle housing and a mating housing received in the receptacle housing and being movable in the receptacle housing in a connector mating direction along a connector mating axis. The second circuit card assembly includes a second PCB and a second electrical connector having a header housing holding second contacts. The first PCB and/or the second PCB includes a slot receiving the other PCB in a board loading direction. The receptacle housing is coupled to the header housing in the board loading direction and the mating housing is movable within the receptacle housing toward the header housing in a connector mating direction generally perpendicular to the board loading direction.
