Abstract
An electrical connector assembly includes a first connector having a first mating portion and a second connector having a second mating portion mateable with the first mating portion of the first connector. The second connector includes a projection which is at a first location when the connectors are fully mated and which is at a second location when the connectors are less than fully mated. A connector position assurance device is movably mounted on the first connector for movement between a first position and a second position. The projection blocks movement of the device to its second position when the projection is in its second location. The device includes a final latch for holding the connectors in mated condition when the device is in its second position.
