Abstract
An electrical connector assembly comprises a housing, a terminal position assurance (TPA) member, and a slide clip. The housing can comprise (i) at least one terminal insertion cavity for receiving an electrical terminal, (ii) a primary locking member that engages with the electrical terminal to retain the electrical terminal therein, (iii) a slide clip receiver, and (iv) a plurality of latching members. The TPA member can couple with the housing. The slide clip can couple with the housing via the slide clip receiver. In an assembled condition, the electrical terminal can retained within the at least one terminal insertion cavity by the primary locking member, the TPA member can inhibit movement of the primary locking member, and the slide clip can be coupled with the slide clip receiver such that the TPA member is constrained between the housing and the slide clip to inhibit disengagement of the TPA member.
