  • Patent number: 5738543
    Abstract: An electrical connector comprises a first housing member and a terminal position assurance member. The terminal position assurance member is fully received within the housing such that it can not be accidentally depressed into the fully locked position during handling and transport. The terminal position assurance member is moveable from a pre-assembly to a fully locked position in a direction transverse to the mating direction such that the housing has a substantially flush front face to enable the connector to be mated against a wall or similar structure in a compact manner. Movement of the terminal position assurance member in the transverse direction ensures that the outer shroud of the connector does not extend beyond the mating face of the connector, thereby providing a compact arrangement.
