An electrical distribution assembly comprising a junction box having a box housing. The box housing comprises a plug portion to receive an electrical connector. The electrical connector has a connector housing comprising a plurality of cavities to receive and hold a terminal. The plug portion comprises a plurality of first blocking devices protruding along a mating axis. Each cavity comprises a second blocking device extending along the mating axis. Each of the first blocking devices blocks the corresponding second blocking device in a blocked position when the corresponding cavity is empty, thereby preventing movement of the connector housing towards the box housing. The assembly further comprises a terminal movable from an outward position to an inserted position. When inserted in the cavity, the terminal relocates the corresponding first or second blocking device to release the blocking, thereby allowing movement of the connector housing towards the box housing.
