An electrical connector (100) includes a housing (102) including a front housing (104) having front terminal channels (142) and a rear housing (106) having rear terminal channels (162) aligned with the front terminal channels (142). An independent secondary lock device (108) is coupled to the housing (102) with a front plate (194) positioned in front of the front housing (104) and a lock plate (196) positioned between the front housing (104) and the rear housing (106). The independent secondary lock device (108) has a staged mating sequence with the housing (102), wherein in a first stage, lock plate channels (210) are aligned with the front and rear terminal channels (142,162) to allow terminals (110) to at least partially pass therethrough, and wherein in a second stage, the lock plate (196) is moved relative to the housing (102) to a blocking position where the lock plate (196) blocks the terminals (110) from removal from the front terminal channels (142). |
