ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly has a pair of mating connector housings carrying mating metal terminals, a double ended shorting clip carried by one of the housings and having both ends thereof in spring biased engagement with its associated metal terminals in that housing and a connector position assurance member. The shorting clip first has one end automatically disengaged from its associated metal terminals by a first cam when the connector housings are mated together and then its other end automatically disengaged from its associated terminals by a second cam on the connector position assurance member when connected to the mated housings so that a shorting path across the associated metal terminals is only fully disconnected if proper mating of the connector housings is assured.
