    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a connector, a corresponding mating-connector, and a terminal-stabilizer. The a connector has a plurality of electrical-terminals. The connector also has an outer-surface that includes a plurality of retraction-fins. The mating-connector has a plurality of mating-electrical-terminals. The mating-connector is releasably connected to the connector along a mating-axis. The mating-connector includes a connector-shroud having side walls defining a shroud-cavity. The terminal-stabilizer is slideably disposed within the shroud-cavity and includes a plurality of retraction-locks that engage the plurality of retraction-fins on the connector. The terminal-stabilizer defines a plurality of terminal-apertures that slideably engage the plurality of mating-electrical-terminals. The terminal-stabilizer is moveable from a prestaged-position, when the connector and the mating-connector are in the unmated-position, to a seated-position, when the connector is moved to the mated-position. The connector retracts the terminal-stabilizer from the seated-position to the prestaged-position when the connector is moved from the mated-position to the unmated-position.

    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a mating connector in which a plurality of electrical terminals are disposed. The mating connector defines a connector shroud configured to receive a corresponding connector. The electrical connector also includes a terminal stabilizer defining a plurality of terminal apertures surrounding the electrical terminals disposed within the connector shroud. The terminal stabilizer is configured to move from a prestaged position to a seated position when the connector is inserted within the connector shroud and is further configured to move from the seated position to the prestaged position when the connector is removed from the connector shroud.
