ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector is provided for floatable mounting to a panel. The connector includes a plurality of centering beams for engaging edge regions of a mounting aperture in a panel and for exerting centering forces against the edge regions to return the connector to a centered and aligned position. At least one of the centering beams includes a latch for engaging an aperture adjacent to the mounting aperture in the panel to enable float and centering in each of two opposite directions. The connector further includes a TPA component engaged to the rear of the connector housing in a preload condition and in a final seated position. The forward end of the TPA component includes secondary locking latches for engaging the terminals.
