ABSTRACT:
A connector device for electric circuit terminals includes mating male and female connectors, one of which has resilient extended lock arm means that will lock behind a lock bar of a sized window of the other connector. When the two connectors are mated, a connector position assurance and assist device is inserted axially along a tracked slot and displaces the void between the sized window and under the extended lock arm means, with this device including releasable, resilient lock tab means to retain it in operative engagement with the connectors. If the connectors are only partly interconnected, upon initially insertion of the connector position assurance and assist device through the connector with the extended lock arm means it will assist the two connectors to become fully and rigidly mated, whereas if the device is initially inserted via the connector with the sized window it will refuse the further mating of the connectors and actually effect their separation whereby to prevent any type of connector partial engagement or intermittent electrical connection to occur.
