The receptacle has a chamber including an inlet at one end that is aligned with the hole in casing and an outlet at the other end. The electrical receptacle connector also includes a terminal holder and a terminal housing, both of which are made of electrical insulation material. The holder retains the plurality of terminals, of the respective leads is inserted into the chamber through the outlet of the receptacle and retained in the chamber. The terminal housing is then inserted into the chamber via the outlet with its flange being disposed in the outlet. The flange has a plurality of spaced holes, each one of which receives one of the plurality of terminals. Flange includes a stop to locate the terminal housing with respect to the receptacle in a longitudinal direction of the terminals, and an integral shroud that extends outwardly of the outlet whereby the electrical receptacle connector is adapted to receive the mating plug connector. The mating electrical plug connector which includes a plurality of terminals each attached to one of a plurality of electrical leads, a connector body housing the plurality of terminals, a terminal position assurance (TPA)/wire dress feature for the plurality of terminals and electrical leads, and an, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield.
