7. The electrical connector of claim 1 wherein the shorting member further comprises a mating face, wherein the mating face is configured to contact the mating electrical connector, and wherein the single loop section is configured to form a portion of the mating face when the electrical connector is engaged with the mating electrical connector.
8. The electrical connector of claim 1 wherein the single loop section is configured to be flush with the shorting member when the electrical connector is engaged with the mating electrical connector.
9. An electrical connector assembly comprising:
a housing;
at least one male contact connected to the housing;
a terminal position assurance (TPA) member connected to the housing, wherein the TPA member comprises a projecting arm, and wherein the projecting arm is configured to contact a latching arm of the housing; and
a shorting member attached to the TPA member, wherein the shorting member comprises a deflectable shorting bar, and wherein the deflectable shorting bar is configured to contact the at least one male contact.
10. The electrical connector assembly of claim 9 wherein the shorting member comprises an aperture, wherein the deflectable shorting bar surrounds a portion of the aperture, and wherein the at least one male contact extends through the aperture.
11. The electrical connector assembly of claim 10 wherein the TPA member further comprises an opening, wherein the at least one male contact extends through the opening, and wherein the aperture is substantially aligned with the opening.
12. The electrical connector assembly of claim 10 wherein a first one and a second one of the at least one male contact extend through the aperture.
13. The electrical connector assembly of claim 12 wherein the shorting bar is configured to contact the first one and the second one of the at least one male contact.
14. The electrical connector assembly of claim 9 wherein the shorting bar comprises a general \u201cU\u201d shape.
15. An electrical connector assembly comprising:
a housing;
at least one male contact connected to the housing;
a terminal position assurance (TPA) member connected to the housing; and
a shorting member attached to the TPA member, wherein the shorting member comprises a deflectable shorting bar, wherein the deflectable shorting bar is configured to contact the at least one male contact, and wherein the shorting bar extends from a middle section of the shorting member.
16. The electrical connector assembly of claim 9 wherein the deflectable shorting bar is configured to be deflectable between a first position and a second position, wherein the deflectable shorting bar is configured to be aligned at an angle to the shorting member in the first position, and wherein the deflectable shorting bar is configured to be aligned substantially flush with the shorting member in the second position.
17. A method of assembling an electrical connector assembly comprising:
mounting at least two male contacts within a housing;
connecting a shorting member to the housing; and
contacting the at least two male contacts with an edge of a single loop section of the shorting member, wherein the at least two male contacts extend through an aperture of the shorting member.
18. A method of assembling an electrical connector assembly comprising:
mounting at least two male contacts within a housing;
attaching the shorting member to a terminal position assurance (TPA) member; and
contacting the at least two male contacts with a single loop section of the shorting member, wherein the at least two male contacts extend through an aperture of the shorting member.
