A dual row low profile high voltage connector, having a minimal height and meeting high voltage requirements and a method of assembling thereof, includes a male housing and a female housing, and further includes a terminal position assurance (TPA) device and a connector position assurance (CPA) device, the TPA device ensuring that a terminal, housed within the female housing, provides a secondary lock, so as to ensure that the terminal is secured or locked within the female housing. The CPA device assures that the male and female housings remain locked. The terminal is housed within the female housing to meet a minimal height requirement and having dual rows of terminals inserted therein the female. The TPA device and the CPA device function in pre-lock or full-lock positions. A method also improves clearance and creepage by allowing a clearance or electrical path to extend around an inserted TPA between terminals.

Dual row low profile high voltage connector and method for assemblying thereof

A low profile high voltage connector, having a minimal height and meeting high voltage requirements and a method of assembling thereof, includes a male housing and a female housing, and further includes a terminal position assurance (TPA) device and a connector position assurance (CPA) device, the TPA device ensuring that a terminal, housed within the female housing, provides a secondary lock, so as to ensure that the terminal is secured or locked within the female housing. The CPA device assures that the male and female housings remain locked and inseparable from each other. The terminal is housed within the female housing in such a way as to have the female housing, engaged within the male housing, to meet a minimal height requirement. Each of the TPA device and the CPA device functions in a pre-lock position or a full-lock position when engaging with the low profile high voltage connector. The method also improves clearance and creepage in the low profile high voltage connector by allowing the clearance or electrical path to extend from at least an electrical wire or cable to the female housing.
