Abstract
A connector assembly includes a connector body defining a plurality of cavities, extending longitudinally through the connector body. The cavities are configured to receive inner terminal housings configured to hold electrical terminals attached to electrical cables disposed within the cavities. The connector assembly further includes a retaining device slidably attached to the connector body and moveable from a pre-staged position to a staged position. The retaining device allows the inner terminal housings to be inserted or removed from the cavities when in the pre-staged position and inhibits the inner terminal housings from being inserted or removed from the cavities when in the staged position.
