What is claimed: 1. A power contact, comprising: a first one-piece body member; a first and a second contact beam each having a first side portion mechanically and electrically connected to the first body member, the first side portion and the first body member being substantially co-planar; and a second side portion that opposes the first side portion and has a freestanding end, wherein each of the first and second contact beams further comprises a connecting portion that adjoins the first and the second side portions of the first or second contact beam; a second one-piece body member; and a third contact beam having a third side portion mechanically and electrically connected to the second body member, the third side portion and the second body member being substantially co-planar; and a fourth side portion that opposes the third side portion and has a freestanding end; wherein the first and second contact beams adjoin the first body member, the third contact beam adjoins the second body member, the freestanding end of the first contact beam is spaced from the second body member by a first slit, and the freestanding end of the third contact beam is spaced from the first body member by a second slit. 2. The power contact of claim 1, wherein each of the first and second contact beams is substantially bulb-shaped. 3. The power contact of claim 1, wherein the first and second side portions and the connecting portion of each of the first and second contact beams define a space that is closed on three sides thereof. 4. The power contact of claim 1, wherein the first and second side portions of each of the first and second contact beams extend in substantially parallel directions. 5. The power contact of claim 1, wherein a first end of the first side portion of the first contact beam adjoins the first body member, a second end of the first side portion of the first contact beam adjoins the connecting portion of the first contact beam, and an end of the second side portion of the first contact beam adjoins the connecting portion of the first contact beam. 6. The power contact of claim 1, wherein the first and second contact beams are spaced apart by gaps. 7. The power contact of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of terminal pins extending from at least one of the body members. 8. The power contact of claim 1, further comprising a fourth of the contact beams that adjoins the second body member, wherein the first and second contact beams are arranged in an alternating manner with the third and fourth contact beams. 9. A power contact, comprising: a plurality of contact beams each defining a space closed on three sides thereof, the contact beams being arranged in a side by side relationship so that the spaces form an unobstructed airflow channel through the power contact; a first body member; and a second body member, wherein a portion of at least a first of the contact beams adjoins and is substantially co-planar with the first body member; a portion of at least a second of the contact beams adjoins and is substantially co-planar with the second body member; the first and second body members further define the airflow channel through the power contact, and opposing ends of the airflow channel are open. 10. The power contact of claim 9, wherein: a first end of the first of the contact beams adjoins the first body member, and a second end of the first of the contact beams is freestanding; and a first end of the second of the contact beams adjoins the second body member, and a second end of the second of the contact beams is freestanding. 11. The power contact of claim 10, wherein the second end of the first of the contact beams is spaced apart from the second body member by a first slit, and the second end of the second of the contact beams is spaced apart from the first body member by a second slit. 12. The power contact of claim 11, wherein the first and second of the contact beams each comprise a first side portion, a second side portion opposing the first side portion, and a connecting portion adjoining the first and second side portions; the first side portion of the first of the contact beams adjoins the first body member; and the first side portion of the second of the contact beams adjoins the second body member. 13.

A connector system, comprising: a first power contact comprising a contact beam having a first side portion, an opposing second side portion having a freestanding end, and a connecting portion adjoining the first and second side portions; and a second power contact matable with the first power contact and comprising a first and a second plate-like body member, wherein at least a portion of the first body member is spaced from at least a portion of the second body member to form a space that receives the contact beam of the first power contact when the first and second power contacts are mated. 15. The connector system of claim 14, wherein a second portion of the first body member is stacked against a second portion of the second body member. 16. The connector system of claim 14, wherein the first side portion of the first power contact contacts the first body member of the second power contact, and the second side portion of the first power contact contacts the second body member of the second power contact when the first and second contacts are mated. 17. The connector system of claim 16, wherein the first power contact further comprises a body member adjoining the first side portion of the contact beam. 18. The connector system of claim 17, further comprising a second body member, and a second contact beam having a first side portion adjoining the second body member, a second side portion having a freestanding end, and a connecting portion adjoining the first and second side portions of the second contact beam. 19. The connector system of claim 14, wherein the portion of the first body member has an aperture formed therein, and the portion of the second body member has another aperture formed therein. 20. The connector system of claim 14, wherein the portions of the first and second body members of the second power contact that form the space that receives the contact beam of the first power contact have one or more apertures formed therein. 21. A power contact, comprising: a first and a second body member; a first contact beam having a first side portion mechanically and electrically connected to the first body member; a second side portion that opposes the first side portion and has a freestanding end, the freestanding end being spaced from the second body member by a first slit; and a connecting portion that adjoins the first and the second side portions; and a second contact beam having a first side portion mechanically and electrically connected to the second body member; a second side portion that opposes the first side portion of the second contact beam and has a freestanding end, the freestanding end of the second contact beam being spaced from the first body member by a second slit; and a connecting portion that adjoins the first and the second side portions of the second contact beam. 22. A power contact, comprising: a first one-piece body member; a first and a second contact beam each having a first side portion mechanically and electrically connected to the first body member, the first side portion and the first body member being substantially co-planar; and a second side portion that opposes the first side portion and has a freestanding end, wherein each of the first and second contact beams further comprises a connecting portion that adjoins the first and the second side portions of the first or second contact beam; a second one-piece body member; and a third and a fourth contact beam each having a third side portion mechanically and electrically connected to the second body member, the third side portion and the second body member being substantially co-planar; and a fourth side portion that opposes the third side portion and has a freestanding end; wherein the first and second contact beams adjoin the first body member, the third and fourth contact beams adjoin the second body member, and the first and second contact beams are arranged in an alternating manner with the third and fourth contact beams. 23.
