    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly having a housing, a terminal alignment plate and an independent secondary lock member. The terminal alignment plate has secondary lock engagement surfaces. The independent secondary lock member has terminal alignment plate engagement surfaces. When the independent secondary lock member is in the open position, the terminal alignment plate engagement surfaces engage the secondary lock engagement surfaces of the terminal alignment plate to retain the terminal alignment plate in the protecting position and prevent the terminal alignment plate from being moved to the fully inserted position. When the independent secondary lock member is in the closed position, the terminal alignment plate engagement surfaces do not engage the secondary lock engagement surfaces of the terminal alignment plate, allowing the terminal alignment plate to be moved to the fully inserted position.

    Abstract: A power connector includes a housing having a terminal channel and a terminal received in the terminal channel including a mating pin at a front of the terminal and a cable connector at a rear of the terminal. The mating pin is positioned in the terminal channel for mating with a charging connector. The cable connector includes a pad configured to be terminated to a power cable. The power connector includes a heat exchanger thermally coupled to the pad of the terminal. The heat exchanger includes a coolant channel for coolant flow through the heat exchanger for actively cooling the terminal. The heat exchanger includes a thermally conductive separator electrically isolating the heat exchanger from the pad of the terminal.

    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly having a housing, an alignment plate, a back plate and a sealant. The housing has a bottom wall and a shroud extending therefrom. A recess is provided in the housing proximate the bottom wall, the recess extends in a direction away from the shroud. The alignment plate has housing latching members which extend through latch receiving openings in the bottom wall of the housing. The housing latching members and the alignment plate are movable between a first position and a second position. The back plate is positioned in the recess of the housing. The back plate has latching member receiving projections for receiving the housing latching members when the alignment plate is in the second position. The seal is positioned in the recess of the housing. The sealant positioned in the recess of the housing.
