Abstract
A connector position assurance system is provided for an electrical connector adapted to mate with another mateable connecting device. The connector includes a housing, and a primary locking arm is mounted on the housing for movement between a first position when the connector is fully mated with the mateable connecting device and second position of incomplete mating of the connector with the device. The primary locking arm includes a latch for mechanically interlocking with a cooperating latch of the mateable connecting device. A locking slider is mounted directly on the primary locking arm. The slider is slidable on the locking arm between a first position allowing movement of the locking arm and mating of the connector and the device, and a second position blocking movement of the locking arm from its second position with the connector and the device fully mated. The locking arm, in its second position, blocks movement of the locking slider from its first position to its second position and thereby indicates that the connector and the device are not fully mated.
