Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1770828A2] The present invention relates to An electrical connector, comprising a housing, comprising: a contact receiving cavity ; and a top wall including a heat dissipation through-hole formed therein that is fluidly connected to said contact receiving cavity; and an electrically conductive contact positioned in said contact receiving cavity, said electrically conductive contact comprising a first contact wall, a second contact wall opposing said first contact wall, and a medial space between said first and second contact walls, a first flexible beam adjoining the first contact wall, and a second flexible beam adjoining the second contact wall. The first and second flexible beams each have a width, the first and second flexible beams define a heat flow path therebetween, the heat flow path being unobstructed in a widthwise direction of the first and second flexible beams, and at least a portion of said first and second contact walls are positioned in the housing below said heat dissipation through-hole.
