ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH A TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE DEVICE
Abstract:
An electrical connector including an electrical terminal, a connector housing and a terminal position assurance (TPA) device. The connector housing defines a longitudinal cavity configured to receive the electrical terminal and a lateral cavity lateral cavity is in communication with the longitudinal cavity. The TPA device is received within the lateral cavity and is moveable from an initial position within the lateral cavity to a final position. The TPA device includes a flexible primary locking feature configured to cooperate with a corresponding locking feature of the electrical terminal to lock the electrical terminal in the longitudinal cavity when the TPA device is in the initial position. The TPA device further includes a rigid secondary locking feature configured to cooperate with the corresponding locking feature to lock the electrical terminal in the longitudinal cavity when the TPA device is in the final position.
