Several more questions --

What is the difference between GT series and non-GT series? For example, I find "GT 280" and "280" listed. What's the characteristic difference? Tanged vs Tangless? I've found Delphi catalogs describing both the GT and the non-GT series, but nothing will say what the difference is.

When I punch in a part number in Mouser, it often gives me two options. "15326623" and "15326623-B" For example. What does the "-B" stand for? The price is often the same, and the description is invariably identical.

When a part is listed in Mouser as an "assembly", Can I safely assume this includes the connector seal(if applicable) and the TPA(terminal position assurance)? If so, I only need to buy the male and female assemblies, the terminals themselves, the wire seals, and optionally, the CPA(connector position assurance). Correct?
