Each of the first and second connectors includes a lower housing including a wire retention channel that receives the respective first or second connector wire therein, terminal retention channels that receive the respective first or second terminals therein, and a latch connector. An upper housing includes securement members that lock to the respective lower housing to retain the respective first or second connector wires and the respective first or second terminals therein. A latch is configured to mate with the latch connector of the opposed connector to retain the first and second connectors together.
