Embodiment Construction

[0016] One or more embodiments of the inventive subject matter described herein provide an electrical connector system with a Connector Position Assurance (CPA) device that ensures full connector mating, reinforces the primary latch as a primary lock, and provides A secondary lock to prevent disengagement of the connector when the secondary lock is engaged.

[0017] figure 1 is a perspective view of an electrical connector system 100 formed in accordance with an exemplary embodiment. The electrical connector system 100 includes a plug connector 102 and a receptacle connector 104 that mates with the plug connector 102 . The electrical connector system 100 may be used in a variety of applications in various industries, such as the automotive industry, the home appliance industry, the aerospace industry, and the like, to electrically couple two or more devices. For example, in the automotive industry, the receptacle connector 104 may be connected to a transmission, electric mot...

Abstract

An electrical connector system (100) is provided, including a plug connector (102), a connector position assurance (CPA) device (116), and a receptacle connector (104). The plug connector includes a housing (112) and a flexible primary latch (110) extending from the housing. The CPA device (116) is mounted to the plug connector (102) and configured to be translatable relative to the plug connector (102). The receptacle connector (104) has a latch surface that engages the primary latch (110) of the plug connector (102). When the plug connector (102) is mated to the receptacle connector (104), the protrusion of the receptacle connector (104) deflects the retaining latch of the CPA device (116) to allow the CPA device (116) to lock in the Pan to locked position. The retention latch resists deflection of the primary latch (110).

Description

technical field [0001] The subject matter herein relates generally to electrical connector systems having connector positioning assurance means. Background technique [0002] In some electrical connector systems, when a first connector is mated to a second connector, a coupling mechanism is used to hold the first and second connectors in mating contact so that a conductive path is formed through the connector . The coupling mechanism is designed to withstand the forces that pull the connectors apart and break the conductive path. For example, the coupling mechanism may include one or more bolts, latches, adhesives, or the like. Some electrical connector systems use a primary latch on one of the connectors that extends generally parallel to the mating axis of the first and second connectors and engages the corresponding connector's latch surface. [0003] When the primary latch is engaged, the latch is designed to prevent inadvertent disengagement of the first and second ...
