<p>A connector assembly (10) includes a plug housing (20) with a housing latch (30) formed thereon that includes grooves (32) for slidably receiving a connector position assurance device (CPA) (40). The CPA (40) is inserted from a mating side face (25) of the housing (20) and is operable to assure that a further matable connector is fully mated to the housing (20). The CPA (40) includes a deflectable beam (41) and an embossment (44). The beam (41) will deflect below projections (34) of latch (30) as the CPA (40) is moved into its final position. When the CPA (40) is in its final position, the operator can readily observe that the housing (20) has been fully mated to the further matable connector.</p> |
