An electrical connector includes a dielectric housing having a mating cavity extending to a base wall and at least one terminal cavity through the base wall to the mating cavity. The terminal cavity being configured to receive a terminal therein having a pin extending into the mating cavity. A primary terminal lock extends from an interior wall of the housing and is configured to engage the terminal to retain the terminal in the terminal cavity. An alignment member is received within the mating cavity and has an alignment plate having at least one opening aligned with a corresponding terminal cavity. The alignment member is movable within the mating cavity between a seated position in which the alignment plate is proximate to the base wall and a supporting position in which the alignment plate is positioned remote from the base wall. A tip of the terminal is held within the opening when the alignment member is in the supporting position, and a pin base of the terminal is held within the opening when the alignment member is in the seated position.
