Abstract
A plug connector includes a plug housing coupled to a header connector and holding plug contacts mated with corresponding header contacts of a header connector. The plug connector includes an eCPA assembly coupled to the plug housing having an actuator movably coupled to the plug housing between a retracted position and an actuated position. The eCPA includes a plug eCPA terminal coupled to the actuator and movable by the actuator between a mated position and an unmated position for mating with a header eCPA terminal of the header connector. The eCPA includes an eCPA wire terminated to the plug eCPA terminal and routed to a remote electrical device. The plug eCPA terminal and the eCPA wire form a position assurance circuit with the header eCPA terminal in the mated position.
