ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector has a first connector body which has a deflectable locking member with an engagement catch and a second connector with an opening for receiving the locking member and engagement catch. A coupling assurance device can be positioned in the first connector body and allow coupling of the first and second connector bodies, due to the flexibility of the locking member, and yet prevent unintentional decoupling of the first and second connector bodies unless the coupling assurance device is removed.
