ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly including a housing and a TPA device. The housing is configured to receive a first terminal in a first direction, and includes a first slot, a second slot, and a first latch that is movable between a flexed position wherein the first latch is disengaged from the first terminal and an unflexed position wherein the first latch is engaged with the first terminal to inhibit movement of the first terminal in a second direction that is opposite the first direction. The TPA device is configured to be coupled to the housing for movement between a mated position and a pre-latched position, and includes a first retention block that is received by the first slot, the first retention block inhibiting the first latch from moving from the unflexed position to the flexed position when the TPA device is in the mated position, and a second retention block that is received by the second slot, the second retention block inhibiting movement of the first terminal in the second direction.
