ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector including an electrical terminal; a housing member having the electrical terminal mounted therein; and a terminal position assurance (TPA) member. The housing member includes a deflectable latch which latches the electrical terminal inside the housing member. The TPA member is movably mounted on the housing member. The TPA member includes a blocking section adapted to substantially prevent deflection of the deflectable latch and at least one polarization section. The polarization section comprises a first polarizer and a second polarizer. The first polarizer is adapted to allow proper mounting of the TPA member relative to the housing member in only one position. The second polarizer is adapted to allow proper mounting of a mating electrical connector relative to the electrical connector in only one position.
