Abstract
A sealed electrical connector assembly comprising an insert molded header, a sealed connector plug matable in an exterior header cavity and an unsealed connector plug matable in an interior header cavity is disclosed. Each connector plug incorporates a secondary lock and terminal position assurance. An outer housing cover forming a portion of the mating envelope at the forward end of the connector plugs can be secured to the forward section of the insulative housing only when a resilient latch, forming a primary latch, is in a fully seated position. If the latch is in the deflected or not fully seated position, an abutting ledge on the housing cover will engage the deflected latch to prevent assembly of the housing cover to the insulative housing.
