Embodiment Construction

[0024] figure 1 A perspective view of an illustrative electrical connector 10 is shown into which a connector position assurance member 100 may be inserted. Connector 10 is shown for illustrative purposes, as the connector may have various configurations and different features without departing from the scope of the present invention. Similarly, the connector position securing member 100 may have different configurations without departing from the scope of the present invention.

[0025] The electrical connector 10 has a housing body 12 having contact receiving channels 14 for receiving contacts (the contacts are not shown). The electrical connector 10 has a front mating end 16 and a rear end 18 . A first or top surface 19 and an oppositely facing second or bottom surface 20 extend between the mating end 16 and the rear end 18 .

[0026] A latch or latch arm 22 extends from housing body 12 proximate top surface 19 . Latch 22 is used to latch and secure a mating connector (...

Abstract

A position assurance device 100. The position assurance device 100 has a base portion 102 with a top surface 106, a bottom surface 108, a base front end 110 and a base back end 112. At least one resiliently deformable beam 104, 105 extends from the base portion 102 in a direction away from the base back end 112. A metal member 170 is provided in the at least one resiliently deformable beam 104, 105. The metal member 170 is configured to add strength and stability to the connector position assurance device 100.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a position assurance device for use with electrical connectors. In particular, the present invention relates to a reinforced connector position assurance member having a metal member or skeleton to provide enhanced structural integrity. Background technique [0002] In some applications, electronic components require an electrical connector assembly joining first and second housings containing electrical contacts. One housing includes male electrical contacts and the other housing includes female electrical contacts. The first housing is configured to be received in the second housing such that the male and female electrical contacts are electrically connected. To ensure that the first and second housings are properly connected by the electrical contacts, the first and second housings are provided with a latch assembly, more commonly referred to as a position assurance feature. In known applications, the latch assemb...
