Abstract

See full text

A method for improving clearance and creepage in a male or female high voltage connector assembly using a male terminal position assurance (TPA) device. The high voltage connector assembly is suitable for high voltage electrical terminals. The method includes the steps of allowing a clearance and creepage or electrical path to extend from at least a high voltage electrical terminal to a conductive male outer housing, and or between another terminal using a male or a female TPA device. The TPA device is inserted in the high voltage connector assembly, whereby a clearance and creepage or electrical path extends from the high voltage electrical terminal along at least a surface of the TPA device and to the male outer housing of the high voltage connector assembly or from the high voltage electrical terminal to another high voltage electrical terminal in using the male and or female TPA device.
