Abstract:
A connector position assurance device includes a base portion having a latch receiving cavity provided in a top surface and a pair of resiliently deformable beams extending from the base portion, the beams have free ends spaced from the base portion. A first beam of the pair of resiliently deformable beams has a first camming member provided proximate a free end of the first beam. The first beam has a first lockout projection engagement member provided proximate the free end of the first beam and in-line with the first camming member. A second beam of the pair of resiliently deformable beams has a second camming member provided proximate a free end of the second beam. The second beam has a second lockout projection engagement member provided proximate the free end of the second beam and in-line with the second camming member.

Claim (Index 1):
A connector position assurance device comprising:\n a base portion having a top surface, a bottom surface, a base front end and a base back end; a pair of resiliently deformable beams extending from the front end of the base portion in a direction away from the back end of the base portion, the beams having free ends spaced from the base portion; a first beam of the pair of resiliently deformable beams having a first camming member provided proximate a free end of the first beam, the first beam having a first lockout projection engagement member provided proximate the free end of the first beam and in-line with the first camming member; a second beam of the pair of resiliently deformable beams having a second camming member provided proximate a free end of the second beam, the second beam having a second lockout projection engagement member provided proximate the free end of the second beam and in-line with the second camming member; a latch receiving cavity provided in the top surface of the base portion; positioning rails extending from the base portion, longitudinal axes of the positioning rails being parallel to longitudinal axes of the first beam and the second beam, the positioning rails are configured to cooperate with a connector to provide proper positioning and stabilization of the connector position assurance device relative to the connector; latching projections positioned on the positioning rails, the latching projections configured to cooperate with the connector to prevent the removal of the connector position assurance device from the connector beyond an initial position; wherein the connector position assurance device is maintained in the initial position on a connector until the first camming member and the second camming member engage a mating connector to allow the first lockout projection engagement member and the second lockout projection engagement member to move past lockout projections of the connector.
