Abstract
A connector includes a first-housing and a second-housing. The first-housing includes a connector-lock. The second-housing is configured to receive the first-housing and includes a connector-latch configured to removably retain the connector-lock when the first-housing is mated with the second-housing. The second-housing includes a connector-position-assurance (CPA)-device slidably mounted to the second-housing and movable from a disengaged-position to an engaged-position. The CPA-device applies a retention-force to the connector-latch. The retention-force deflects the connector-latch thereby applying the retention-force to the first-housing when the first-housing is mated with the second-housing and the CPA-device is in the engaged-position.
