A connector assembly includes at least a first module and a second module. Each one of the first and second modules are attached together. The first module includes first terminal position assurance device for ensuring that an electrical coupling element, such as an HMTD coupler accommodated in the second module is completely inserted in its cavity formed in the second module. The first module can be replaced by another having a different number of channels, whereas the second module remains the same.

A method of attaching an electrical contact to a cable is presented herein. The electrical contact is crimped to the cable, at different heights, in such a way as to obtain a mechanical retention portion and an electrical conduction portion. The difference between the final crimping heights of the mechanical retention portion and the electrical conduction portion is between 0.5 and 0.6 mm. A tool for implementing this method is also described herein.
