Abstract
A connector includes a housing and a connector position assurance device positioned in a temporary caught position on the housing when the connector is not mated with a mating connector. The connector position assurance device is allowed to slide to a caught position in front of the temporary caught position in a mating direction when the connector is completely mated with the mating connector. The connector position assurance device assures that the connectors are completely mated in the caught position. The connector position assurance device has a pressed-back portion abutted by the mating connector during mating and pressed back relative to the housing if the connector position assurance device is positioned in the caught position when the connector starts to mate with the mating connector, positioning the connector position assurance device in the temporary caught position at a complete mating of the connector with the mating connector.
