An electrical connector including an electrical terminal; a housing member having
the electrical terminal mounted therein; and a terminal position assurance (TPA)
member. The housing member includes a deflectable latch which latches the electrical
terminal inside the housing member. The TPA member is movably mounted on the housing
member. The TPA member includes a blocking section adapted to substantially prevent
deflection of the deflectable latch and at least one polarization section. The
polarization section comprises a first polarizer and a second polarizer. The first
polarizer is adapted to allow proper mounting of the TPA member relative to the
housing member in only one position. The second polarizer is adapted to allow proper
mounting of a mating electrical connector relative to the electrical connector
in only one position.
