ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a housing that receives an electrical contact. The housing includes a stop element. A terminal position assurance (TPA) member is loaded on the housing. The TPA member is moveable between a staged position and a final position. The stop element engages the TPA member in the staged position to prevent advancement of the TPA member from the staged position to the final position until a contact is fully loaded in the housing.
