ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector including a housing; electrical contacts connected to the housing; and a connector position assurance (CPA) member movably attached to the housing. The housing includes a deflectable latch for latching with a mating electrical connector. The CPA member includes two deflectable side arms and a center section located between the side arms. The CPA member is movable between a first position and a second position. The first position has the center section spaced from the deflectable latch and outwardly extending portions of the side arms extending through first holes in the housing to an exterior side of the housing. The second position comprises a portion of the center section being located beneath a portion of the latch with the latch to prevent the latch from being deflected inward, and the outwardly extending portions being moved out of the first holes.
