Abstract
An electrical connector includes a housing having a plurality of terminal-receiving passages extending between a forward mating end of the housing and a rear end thereof. A plurality of terminals are received in the passages. A terminal position assurance device is mounted on the housing for movement between first and second positions only when all of the terminals are properly positioned in their respective passages. A cover is securable to the housing over at least a portion of the rear end thereof. The terminal position assurance device has a portion which prevents securing the cover to the housing unless the terminal position assurance device is in its second position.
