ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector including a housing having a receiving area for receiving a portion of a mating connector; coaxial electrical contacts connected to the housing; and a ferrite member located in the housing. The housing comprises ribs projecting inwardly into the receiving area. The ribs are adapted to allow the housing to be mated to the mating connector in at least two orientations. When the electrical connector is attached to the mating connector, the ribs are adapted to prevent rotation of the housing relative to the mating connector. The electrical connector further includes a connector position assurance (CPA) member movably attached to the housing. The CPA member includes a portion adapted to contact a section of a second one of the electrical contacts to move the section when the CPA member is moved from an unlatched position towards a latch position.
