Abstract

A connector assembly includes an electrical connector having a housing and a contact held in a contact channel and terminated to a cable. The housing has a contact retention latch latchably coupled to the contact. The electrical connector includes a TPA device coupled to the housing and movable between a preset position and a set position. The contact retention latch is deflectable when the TPA is in the preset position. The TPA blocks the contact retention latch in the set position to block deflection of the contact retention latch. The connector assembly includes a support bracket supporting the electrical connector. The electrical connector has six mechanical degrees of freedom relative to the support bracket.
