  • Connector with two directions of movement of the terminal position assurance device
    Patent number: 11205868
    Abstract: An example connector includes a housing made of a dielectric material, in which cells are formed. Terminals are housed in the cells and extend essentially in a longitudinal direction. The housing is also equipped with a terminal position assurance device having locking means interacting with a stop surface located on the terminal. The terminal position assurance device may possibly have a system of ramps arranged to move the locking means sequentially, perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction, and then parallel to the longitudinal direction. The leakage path between two terminals can then be lengthened.
