    Patent number: 5281168
    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a terminal position assurance system. The assembly includes an elongated dielectric housing having a plurality of terminal-receiving cavities extending transversely of the housing. A plurality of terminals are insertable into the cavities. A passageway extends longitudinally of the housing. An elongated terminal position assurance member is insertable into the passageway and movable between a preloaded position and a loaded position.
