ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly includes two plug connectors 2 that can be mounted in separate pockets 66 in a pin header 62 that can be mounted on an electronic module. Separate plug connectors 2 can be attached to separate wiring harnesses. To insure that an adequate number of wires can be connected in a header of substantially the same size, terminal latches 18 on inner ends of terminal rows are deflectable in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction in other terminal latches 16 in the same row are deflected when terminals 20 are inserted into the housing 4. A terminal position assurance member 30 includes a cantilevered plate 32 that engages terminal latches 16 and a cantilevered arm 24 that engages the terminal latch 18. This provides space for a force applying bolt 50 to be used in each connector.
