ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a dielectric housing having a forward mating end and a rearward terminating end and at least one terminal-receiving cavity extending in a direction between the ends. A terminal is insertable into the cavity from the rearward terminating end of the housing. A TPA device is selectively engageable with the housing at the terminating end thereof, with a terminal retention portion insertable into the cavity in locking engagement with the terminal. An abutment shoulder on the TPA device engages an aperture in the terminal for moving the terminal from at least one incomplete position of insertion to a fully inserted position in response to engaging the TPA device with the housing and fully inserting the terminal into the cavity.
