ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly for assuring proper engagement of mated electrical connectors. The assembly includes a pair of connectors which are configured for creating electrical contact between terminals housed therein. A position assurance member is retainingly engaged with one of the connectors in a preassembled position. If the connectors are properly engaged, the connection position assurance member is capable of being moved from its preassembled position to a second or home position. Upon improper engagement of the connectors, movement of the position assurance member from its preassembled position to its home position is prohibited thereby indicating that improper engagement between the connectors exists.
