Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of connector, specifically is a kind of connector and terminal holding auxiliary structure of convenient bending terminal. BACKGROUND

[0002] Connector terminal holding auxiliary structure (Terminal Position Assurance) is abbreviated as TPA, also known as terminal position assurance, auxiliary lock sliding into connector shell to ensure that the terminal (or contact body) in the connector shell is completely in place in the shell. The lock slides into the groove on the terminal body, and the auxiliary lock will not engage correctly if the contact body is not correctly in place. After the terminal is completely in place, the lock can be inserted. TPA not only ensures that the contact body is correctly in place, but also helps to reduce the movement of the terminal in the connector. To remove the terminal from the connector shell, the TPA must be removed first.
