Abstract:
A connector assembly is provided with a connector body that is configured to be removably connected with a corresponding mating connector body. The connector body has a deflectable latching member configured to secure the connector body to the corresponding mating connector body. The connector assembly also includes a connector position assurance (CPA) device that is slideably attached to the connector body and is moveable from a pre-staged position that allows the latching member to be deflected to a full-staged position that inhibits deflection of the latching member. The latching member defines a first window and a second window. A first portion of the CPA device is visible in the first window when the CPA device is in the pre-staged position and a second portion of the CPA device is visible in the second window when the CPA device is in the full-staged position.

Claim (Index 7):
A method for operating a connector assembly, comprising the steps of:\n providing a connector body; providing a corresponding mating connector body configured to be removably connected with the connector body, wherein the connector body has a deflectable latching member configured to secure the connector body to the corresponding mating connector body and wherein the latching member defines a first window and a second window distinct from the first window; and providing a connector position assurance (CPA) device; slideably attaching the CPA device to the connector body; and moving the CPA device from a pre-staged position that allows the latching member to be deflected to a full-staged position that inhibits deflection of the latching member, wherein a first portion of the CPA device is visible in the first window when the CPA device is in the pre-staged position, and wherein a second portion of the CPA device is visible in the second window when the CPA device is in the full-staged position.
