An electrical power connector can include an electrically insulative connector housing, a first plurality of electrical contacts supported by the connector housing, and a second plurality of electrical contacts supported by the connector housing. The first plurality of electrical contacts can be of a first type, and the second plurality of electrical contacts are of a second type and positioned adjacent to the first plurality of electrical contacts. The arrangement of the electrical contact can provide creepage protection for the electrical connector. Further, the electrical contacts can include mating portions that are touch proof.
