ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector has a pump handle lock arm that provides a forward lock arm for locking the electrical connector to a mating electrical connector and a rearward release handle that is depressible to unlock the lock arm, and a connector position assurance device that has a tongue that fits beneath the release handle to assure proper engagement of the lock arm. The tongue of the connector position assurance device has its opposite lateral sides integrally connected to respective laterally spaced, rib stiffened runners for installing the connector position assurance device onto the electrical connector and it is shaped so that the tongue and runners are sufficiently rigid to prevent installation on the pump handle lock arm when the electrical connector is not properly mated to the mating electrical connector.
