ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR HAVING TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE

摘要

An electrical connector is disclosed having a housing having at least one row of terminal receiving passageways (14). Each passageway includes a locking latch (58). An overstress protection rib (64) is positioned below each latch 58. A channel extends through a front wall of the housing and adjacent to the at least one row of terminal receiving passageways (14), and on the opposite side of the latch. A terminal position assurance member (TPA) (6) has a pre-locked position with the TPA positioned forward of the latch (58) allowing the latch to resile into the channel, and a fully locked position where the TPA is positioned underneath the latch.
