Abstract

See full text

An electrical connector assembly includes a plug connector (2) and a mating connector or printed circuit board header (94) that are mated with the assistance of a cam slide (4). Channels in which the cam slide (4) shifts are formed by top rails (26) that are staggered relative to bottom rails (30) so that the rails can be formed by straight pull mold tooling without side pulls. The cam slide (4) can be inserted from opposite ends of the plug connector housing (20). At least some of the power terminals (86) are located separately from signal terminals (88) so that they can be separately sealed. A combined terminal position assurance member and seal retainer (74) is latched to the plug connector housing on the inside of power terminal cavities (52) so as not to interrupt the sealing integrity.
