Abstract
An axial airbag connector with a connector assurance slide including a plug connector, a bottom cover attached to the plug connector, and a sliding cover with forwardly extending secondary locking arms. The sliding cover can be locked in either a forward or a rear position. When the sliding cover is in its forward position, the secondary locking arms force plug locking arms at the front of the plug connector outwardly so as to engage the plug connector in its mating socket. A displacement limiter is used to limit the range of movement of the sliding cover between its forward and rear positions.
