<p>An electrical connector having a pair of matable connector bodies with a pump handle type of lock is improved by the addition of a CPA that both disables the lock from releasing, and also pushes the connector bodies together to the fully mated position if they are only partially mated. A blocking end of the CPA is sized so as to be pushed beneath and be retained beneath the operating end of the arm of the lock, thereby preventing it from being pressed down. The CPA's sized also causes it to impose a force on one connector body as it is pushed in place to push partially mated connector bodies together.</p> |
