ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly (10) includes a connector position assurance device (20), a plug housing (30), and a receptacle housing (40). The connector position assurance device (20) includes a central beam having a central detent (22b) thereon with an end section (22c) for engaging a front section (35) of plug housing (30) when the CPA is in a fully advanced position. A web (24) includes a radiused profile (24a) for flexing and avoiding damaging stress concentrations in the web (24) when the CPA (20) is in the fully advanced position. Double locking and connector position assurance are achieved, and the CPA (20) can be latched to the plug housing (30) in a pre-engagement position for preventing inadvertent withdrawal of the CPA (20) from the plug housing (30).
