Connector module having connector positive assurance member and internally latching connector housings

摘要

A connector module (10) and a connector module kit which includes the components of the connector module, is provided. The connector module includes a first housing (12), a second housing (14) and a connector positive assurance member (16). Insertion of the second housing into the first housing will cause a latching mechanism (36) located within the assembled first and second housings to latch the housings together so that they can not be readily disengaged. When the first and second housings (12,14) and contacts (30,56) therein are fully engaged in this manner, the connector positive assurance member (16) may be moved from a first position to a second position to assure complete engagement has been effected. If the first and second housings and contacts therein are not fully engaged, the connector positive assurance member can not be moved from such first position to such second position.
