Connector with primary lock reinforcement

An electrical connector assembly, comprising:

• an electrical-terminal configured to receive a corresponding electrical-terminal;
• a connector-housing defining a first-aperture, a second-aperture, and a body, said connector-housing configured to receive the electrical-terminal through the first-aperture along a longitudinal-axis of the connector-housing, said body defining a cavity having a cantilevered terminal-lock disposed within and attached to a base of the body, said cantilevered terminal-lock extending along the longitudinal-axis and terminating proximate an outer-wall of the body, said cantilevered terminal-lock configured to releasably retain the electrical-terminal such that the electrical-terminal is positioned to receive the corresponding electrical-terminal through the second-aperture along a mating-axis of the electrical-terminal, said outer-wall defining an orifice positioned proximate a terminus of the cantilevered terminal-lock;
• and
• a primary-lock-reinforcement configured to support the terminus of the cantilevered terminal-lock, wherein when the primary-lock-reinforcement is moved from a pre-stage-position to a seated-position the terminus is inhibited from deflecting away from the electrical-terminal along the mating-axis thereby sealing the orifice.
