ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector is shown having a connector housing and a terminal positioning assurance member. The housing has slots which co-exist in a parallel manner with terminal receiving passageways of the housing. The terminal positioning assurance member has leg portions receivable transversely of the slots, and the TPA is movable from a position where a primary latch in the connector can be biased into the slot to allow the insertion of a terminal into the cavity of the housing and the terminal positioning assurance member can be moved to a locked position, where legs of the TPA, which are movable within the slot, are moved behind the latch, preventing the movement of the latch members.
