Abstract: A terminal position assurance member for use with an electrical connector. The terminal position assurance member includes a rigid frame member and one or more compressible seals. The rigid frame member extends from a conduct receiving surface of the terminal position assurance member to a connector mating surface of the terminal position assurance member. The one or more compressible seals cooperate with the rigid frame member to provide sealing between the rigid frame member, a housing of the electrical connector and conductors inserted into the terminal position assurance member. Any insertion force applied to the conductor receiving surface of the rigid frame member will be translated through the rigid frame member to one or more terminals of the electrical connector, allowing the one or more seals to remain compressible to provide the sealing characteristics required.

Abstract: A terminal position assurance member for use with an electrical connector. The terminal position assurance member includes a terminal engagement section with terminal engaging projections. At least one first latch arm extends from the terminal engagement section. At least one second latch arm extends from the terminal engagement section and is spaced from the at least one first latch arm. The at least one first latch arm engages a portion of a first electrical connector to secure the terminal position assurance member to the first electrical connector when terminals of the first electrical connector are properly positioned. Alternatively, the at least one second latch arm engages a portion of a second electrical connector to secure the terminal position assurance member to the second electrical connector when terminals of the second electrical connector are properly positioned.

Abstract: An electrical contact includes a contact portion for mating with a mating contact, a wire barrel and an insulation barrel. The insulation barrel has a lead-in projection extending from the insulation barrel toward the wire barrel. The insulation barrel has a first crimping arm and a second crimping arm, with the first crimping arm positioned closer to the wire barrel than the second crimping arm. The lead-in projection is attached to and extends from the first crimping arm. The lead-in projection has a free end which extends proximate to the wire barrel and proximate to an electrical conductor of an electrical wire terminated in the wire barrel. The wire barrel is crimped to the electrical conductor of the electrical wire terminated in the wire barrel and the insulation barrel is crimped to an insulation sleeve of the electrical wire terminated in the wire barrel.
