An electrical connector comprises a housing defining a receptacle opening for receiving a mating connector in a mating direction and a terminal positioning component slidably received within the receptacle opening and moveable in the mating direction. The terminal positioning component includes a pin protection plate defining at least one aperture sized to receive a conductive pin of at least one terminal arranged within the housing, and a terminal assurance element extending from the pin protection plate in the mating direction. The terminal assurance element is adapted to prevent the movement of the component in the mating direction when the at least one terminal is in a partially inserted state within the housing. The connector further comprises a first locking element arranged on a wall of the housing for selectively fixing the position of the terminal positioning component within the receptacle in the mating direction.
