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.

Abstract: A connector having a connector body defining a first protrusion and a connector position assurance (CPA) device in the form of a sleeve axially surrounding the connector body that is moveable along a mating axis. The sleeve defines a second protrusion configured to engage the first protrusion when a first force is applied to the sleeve as the connector is mated with a corresponding mating connector. The second protrusion is configured to slide over the first protrusion and then disengage the first protrusion when a second force is applied to the sleeve, thereby producing a vibratory response in the sleeve. The vibratory response is a tactile vibration or an audible vibration. The second force applied to the sleeve is greater than the first force and the second force may be applied to the sleeve in the same direction as the first force or in the opposite direction.

Abstract: An connector includes a terminated cable, a connector body defining a cylindrical terminal cavity configured to receive the terminated cable, and a cable seal axially surrounding a portion of the terminated cable. The cable seal defines a compliant primary sealing ring that is in compressive contact with an inner wall of the terminal cavity. The cable seal further defines an extended sleeve. The connector also includes a seal retainer that is inserted within a distal end of the terminal cavity and axially surrounds at least a portion of the extended sleeve. An inner surface of the seal retainer is proximate at least a portion of the extended sleeve and an outer surface of the seal retainer is proximate the inner wall of the terminal cavity.
