Sealed connector assembly

The connector includes a housing (12) having resilient arms (34) (see Fig. 4) with free end fingers (36) extending within terminal receiving channels (26) of the housing for retaining terminals (14) within the channels (26). The housing (12) includes a sleeve portion (40) extending axially outwardly from a terminal entry wall (28) defining a seal receiving cavity (41). A seal (16) has apertures (62) for receiving the terminals (14) and is disposed within the cavity (41) between the housing terminal entry wall (28) and a connector cover (18). The cover (18) includes a terminal position assurance means, a keying member (70) co-operating with the housing terminal retaining arms (34) for securing the terminals within the channels (26) and for keying alignment with the housing (12) and the seal (16). The housing (12) and connector cover (18) include co-operating locking mechanisms (44, 48, 74) for securing the connector cover (18) to the housing (12). A sealed connector subassembly includes the sealed connector housing (12), the connector cover (18) and the seal (16). The housing (12) and the connector cover (18) include co-operating latching means (42, 46, 72) for securing the connector cover (18) to the housing (12) in a subassembly position.
