A connector comprises a connector face, a latch, and a CPA receiving space. A plurality of contact receiving spaces of the connector are open to the connector face. The latch engages a mating connector when the connector is inserted into the mating connector along an insertion direction. The CPA receiving space is disposed adjacent an inner side of the latch and receives a position securing member. At least one contact receiving space is disposed between the connector face and the CPA receiving space.
