An electrical connector assembly includes a high density plug connector 2 that is mated to a high density receptacle connector 4, each of which can be attached to wires 76. The plug connector includes male terminals 18 held in cavities 10 by resilient latches 12. The plug connector also includes a combination terminal guide and terminal position assurance member 26 which both guides and aligns male terminals 18 during mating and engages the resilient latches 12 to be sure that all of the terminals 18 are properly inserted in the plug connector housing 4. The male TPA guide member 26 is mounted on the plug connector housing mating face 6 and includes a front panel 28 with openings 30 for guiding the male terminals 18 during mating. Projections 32 extend from the panel 28 and function as terminal position assurance members.
