ABSTRACT:
A bolt-driven connector (10; 70) includes a housing (12; 72) with cavities (24; 84) extending in front to rear directions through the housing (12; 72). At least one position assurance slot (36, 38; 90) extends into the housing (12; 72) in a direction transverse to the cavities (24; 84) and slidably receives at least one TPA member (46, 48; 92) for assuring the position of the terminal fittings in the cavities (24; 84). A threaded insert (40) is held connector (10; 70) and is prevented from rotating relative to the housing (12; 72) by walls (30) the housing (12) or walls (98) of the TPA member (92). Forward movement of the threaded insert (40) is prevented by a wall (32; 87) of the housing (12; 72) and rearward movement is prevented by either a wall (87) of the housing (72) or a wall (56, 58) of the TPA member (46, 48).
