Abstract
A terminal assembly includes an insulative body having a terminal cavity formed within; a first terminal disposed within the terminal cavity; and a second terminal having an interface configured to connect with the first terminal within the terminal cavity. The insulative body defines an opening extending from an outer surface of the insulative body to the terminal cavity. The opening is sized, shaped, and arranged to provide visual access to verify a connection between the first and second terminals. Several methods of assembling such a terminal assembly are also disclosed.
