Abstract
An electrical connector having a male connector assembly of an insulating material for housing a plurality of pin contacts, and a female connector assembly of an insulating material, for housing a plurality of socket contacts for mating with the pin contacts. A circuit-to-circuit isolation distance is at least twice a connector mating distance, when the male and female connector assemblies are mated. A terminal position assurance cap, insertable from an end of the female connector assembly opposite an insertion face for the male connector assembly enables a maximized circuit-to-circuit isolation distance. The terminal position assurance cap assures that the socket contact is retained in the socket contact chamber, by blocking a flexible integral retention clip against the socket contact. The connector further includes an arrangement for removing the socket contact from the female connector assembly.
