ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector comprising matable electrical plug and socket connectors includes a primary lock for locking the electrical connectors in a fully mated position and a connector position assurance device for assuring that the electrical connectors are fully mated. The connector position assurance device is slideably mounted on the electrical socket connector and includes a resilient lock arm that cooperates with a lock projection of the electrical plug connector to provide a redundant primary lock if the electrical connectors are fully mated. When the electrical connectors are partially mated the connector position assurance device will either fully mate the electrical connectors and lock them together or push them apart depending upon the degree of partial mating.
