Description of the Invention: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an electrical connector, and more particularly to a power connector. The present invention also relates to a connector system including the power connector. [Prior Art] Power connectors are widely used in many electronic devices and systems to transmit power. As the functionality and complexity of such devices and systems increase, power connectors are required to provide increasingly higher power transfer capacities, such as higher breakdown voltages or higher currents' and are more compact in size. . In order to achieve higher power transmission capacity, conventional power connectors employ techniques that increase the physical size of the contact terminals (e.g., blade terminals) to be able to carry higher currents. To further increase this capacity, terminals with larger physical dimensions or cross-sectional areas become necessary. Manufacturing contact terminals having different physical dimensions or cross-sectional areas requires different tools and procedures, and thus has a higher cost for both the connector manufacturer and the user. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to a power connector for use in an electronic system. The power connector has an insulative housing with conductive terminals disposed therein. A conductive terminal - electrically connected to the turns and aligned along a first column parallel to the transverse direction of the outer casing. A second set of conductive terminals are electrically coupled together to a second pole and aligned along a second column that is parallel to the lateral direction of the outer casing. According to an aspect, the present invention provides a power connector, wherein a breakdown voltage between the first and second sets of conductive terminals can be increased by increasing a first distance between 157511.doc 201230507. And the distance between the second columns does not increase the increase in the number of conductive terminals. The power connector according to the present invention provides a higher power transfer capacity under the lateral dimension of the connector. According to another aspect, the present invention provides a power connector that can be easily customized.

For a better understanding of the invention, its objects and preferred embodiments, further description of the accompanying drawings is provided below. [Embodiment] As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, a power connector 1A according to an embodiment of the present invention has a casing 11 and a first and second group The contact terminals 120, 130 are in the housing 11A. The outer casing 11 has a mating surface 102 and a mounting surface 1〇4. In use, the connector 1A is mounted to a first circuit board 300, and its mating face 102 faces a mating connector 2A that can be mounted to a second circuit board 400. The outer casing 110 defines a width direction X, a depth direction Y, and a height direction Z. The X, γ, and Z directions are perpendicular to each other. Terminals 120 and 130 form a power connection module 112 in connector 1A. As shown in FIG. 5, in a connector system including a connector ι and a circuit board 3', each of the first set of terminals 12 has a mating end ι 22 and a mounting end 124. The mating end 122 is placed adjacent to the mating face 1〇2 to connect to the mating connector (not shown in Figure 5). The mounting end 124 157511.doc 201230507 is placed adjacent to the mounting surface 104 to be mounted to and electrically connected to circuitry or conductive pads formed on the circuit board 300. The mating ends 122 are aligned along the width direction X at a first column 122a. When the connector 1 is mounted to the circuit board 3, for example, by the first circuit 324, the mounting ends 124 are electrically connected together and are used to directly or indirectly connect to a first electrode 520 of a power source 500. Similarly, each of the second set of terminals 13 has a mating end Π 2 and a mounting end 134 » mating end 132 is placed adjacent to the mating surface 1 〇 2 to connect to the mating connector (not shown in FIG. 5) The end 134 is placed adjacent to the mounting surface 104 for mounting to the circuit board 3. The mating end 132 is aligned along a direction at a second column 132a that is parallel to the first column 122a' And offset from the first column 122a along the height direction. When the connector 100 is mounted to the circuit board 3, for example, by the circuit 334, the mounting ends 134 are electrically connected together and used to connect directly or indirectly to the power source. A second electrode 53〇β of 500, thus, the first and second sets of terminals 12〇 and 13〇 are connected in parallel to the power source 500 » because the breakdown voltage capacity of the power connection module 112 is matched by the terminals 12〇 and 13〇 The distance between the heights and the heights is determined by the fact that in applications requiring a higher breakdown voltage, the connector 1 can be placed away from each other by the terminals 12 〇 and 130 s ends (ie, by Increase the distance Η1) and configure. Therefore, no To increase the distance between the terminals 12〇 and 13〇, as in the case of the conventional power connector, correspondingly, a power connector having a higher resistance to breakdown voltage can be provided without increasing the width dimension of the connector. The terminals 120 may be formed to have the same physical size and shape, and are made of the same material, that is, each terminal] and the female m ^ mother yang has a fixed current capacity, I57511.doc 201230507, for example, 5.5 A. In high current capacity applications, instead of replacing the terminals with larger physical dimensions, as is the case with conventional power connectors, the present invention provides one of the total number of terminals by using the same type of 5·5 A terminals. For example, a power connector shown in Figure 5 has a total of three pairs of terminals 12G, 13A, and can provide 5 5x3 = 16 5 fields _ maximum total current capacity. When 2 〇 A - current capacity is required, A fourth terminal 'can be added to achieve a total current capacity of 5.5 x 4 = 22 A. Accordingly, the present invention can provide a power connector with increased current capacity without requiring a larger physical size Contact terminals. This provides a cost effective solution by using contact terminals of substantially the same physical size to manufacture power connectors to meet different power transfer requirements. * In another embodiment, (4) 6 is shown ( The power supply unit 613 is provided with a power supply module 612, which is similar to the power supply group 112 shown in the foregoing embodiment, and the power supply unit 613 is provided to supply the AC power supply. - the grounding module 61 is powered; the original unit (1) can be connected to the AC-neutral line (ac_n) by connecting the terminal (4) to the "AC" (AC-L) of the "AC (10)) power source and Terminal (4) is configured for connection to AC-ground (AC_PE). In the present embodiment, the grounding die (4) 4 has two standard terminals (10)' each having the same length as the terminals (4) and (4) and two sacrificial terminals 641. Each of the sacrificial terminals 641 is longer than the standard terminal _. In other words, the mating end of each of the sacrificial terminals 641 is placed closer to the mating face (10) than the mating end of the standard terminal 640. During the mating/non-mating procedure of the fish-paired connector, the two sacrificial terminals (4) are used as the "first mating and then disconnecting" terminals for capturing the arc generated during the mating/non-matching 157511.doc 201230507 procedure the goal of. Each of the two standard terminals 64A and the sacrificial terminals 641 may be individual contact terminals having the same current capacity (e.g., ^a). Based on the actual arc capture requirements, one or more terminals can be configured as sacrificial terminals and at any or each of the specified locations. In the further embodiment shown in Figure 7, the 1 source port includes one or more power modules 712 (the housing of the connector is omitted to show the terminals). The power module, group 712 has a first set of contacts 72A, 721, and 722' and a second set of contact terminals 730. The first set of contact terminals are electrically connected to the -th electrode. The second set of contact terminals will be electrically connected to a f-electrode... one or more of the first set of contact terminals (eg, contact end: 72〇) configured as a standard terminal, having a length of coffee, for The power supply transmits the first sacrificial terminal 721 to a length L721 that is longer than the length of the standard contact terminal 720. The second sacrificial terminal 722 has a length L722 that is longer than the length L720 of the standard 2 touch W but longer than the length of the first sacrificial contact terminal. Accordingly, the 'first-sacrificial contact terminal 7= is configured as the "first fit/back disconnect" terminal, which is used as the arc capture terminal during the mating/non-mating procedure. The second sacrificial contact end standard contact terminal is used as a normal power supply terminal. In the event that the first sacrificial contact terminal 721 is unable to perform the arc capture function, for example, by the loose contact, the oxidized contact surface or the 曰=2/post disconnected terminal, the first sacrificial contactor is cut. Official money captures the role. A power connector containing two or more of the above-mentioned two or more salt-planing A-mountain 7/8,·, nicknamed the sacrificial contact terminals will have a higher safety level relative to the capture capability and - Reliable operation 157511.doc 201230507 Sex. Figure 8 shows a further embodiment of the invention. As shown in FIG. 8, the power connector 800 has a housing 810 and four sets of contact terminals 822, 832, 842 and 852 disposed in the housing 810. The first and second sets of contact terminals *· 822 and 832 are supported by a first tongue 812 of the housing 810 and are configured to be electrically connected to a first electrode 520 of a power source. The third and fourth sets of contact terminals are supported by a second tongue 814 of the housing 810 and are configured to be electrically coupled to a second electrode 5 3 一 of a power source. Structured in the manner described above, contact terminals 822, 832 and 842, 852 form a power module in power connector 800. The distance Η2 between the second set of contact terminals 832 and the third set of contact terminals 842 in the height direction is used to determine the breakdown voltage capacity of the power module. In applications requiring a higher breakdown voltage, the first and second sets of contact terminals 822, 832 can be placed away from the second and fourth sets of contact terminals 842, 852, ie, by increasing the distance Η 2, without increasing each The distance between the group contact terminals 822, 832 and 842, 852 is Ρ2. Accordingly, a connector having a higher crash resistance can be provided without increasing the width dimension of the 5 hoist connector.
