1. An electrical connector comprising:
a housing including a front housing and a rear housing matable to define the housing, wherein the front housing and the rear housing are molded as a single piece with a hinge member connecting the front housing and the rear housing, the rear housing rotatable about the hinge member from an open position to a closed position, wherein the front and rear housings include multi-stage securing features engaged when the front and rear housings are in the closed position, the securing feature of the front housing comprises a catch, the securing feature of the rear housing comprises a latch having a first step and a second step; the front housing having front terminal channels configured to receive terminals, the rear housing having rear terminal channels aligned with the front terminal channels when the rear housing is rotated to the closed position but not aligned with the front terminal channels when the rear housing is in the open position, wherein the rear housing is movable relative to the front housing in the closed position between a clearance position and a blocking position with the securing features engaging each other in the clearance position and in the blocking position, wherein the first step engages the catch in a first stage when the rear housing is in the clearance position, and the second step engages the catch in a second stage when the rear housing is in the blocking position, the rear housing moving relative to the front housing between the first stage and the second stage, and wherein, in the clearance position, the rear terminal channels are configured to allow the terminals to at least partially pass therethrough into the front terminal channels during loading of the terminals into the housing, and wherein, in the blocking position, the rear terminal channels are offset from the front terminal channels such that the rear housing blocks the terminals from backing out of the front terminal channels. |
