An electrical connector for transmitting electrical power includes at least one power pin with an ablative tip. The power pin has a body oriented in a direction of a longitudinal axis, and the ablative tip is at a terminal end along the longitudinal axis. The ablative tip includes a terminal edge and a support material positioned on a transverse side of the terminal edge that provides structural support to the terminal edge.
