Zusammenfassung:A power connector (102) comprises a pair of discrete contact springs (120, 122). Each of the contact springs (102, 122) comprises a contact body (260, 270) having opposite inner and outer side surfaces (244, 222 and 242, 224) and a contact edge (262, 272) extending between the inner and outer side surfaces (244, 222 and 242, 224). The contact body (260, 270) includes a spring base (268, 278) and a mating portion (264, 274) extending from the spring base (268, 278). The spring bases (268, 278) are joined by a locking feature (308A, 308B, 308C). The locking feature (308A, 308B, 308C) includes a localized portion (315) of one of the spring bases (268) frictionally engaging the other spring base (278) to interlock the spring bases (268, 278), wherein the mating portions (264, 274) are separated by a receiving space (124) and configured to engage a conductive component (104) when the conductive component (104) is inserted into the receiving space (124).
