    Publication number: 20090023325
    Abstract: A connector position assurance device includes a base panel member and a latch assembly connected to and extending perpendicularly and forwardly from the base panel member. The latch assembly has a first flexible arm and a second flexible arm disposed in a juxtaposed manner relative to one another on opposing sides of a longitudinal axis. Each one of the first and second flexible arms is operative to move between a normal relaxed state and a flexed state generally in a lateral direction with the first and second flexible arms being resiliently biased to the normal relaxed state. The first flexible arm has a talon portion at a first flexible arm distal end thereof and the second flexible arm has a guiding projection at a second flexible arm distal end thereof. A connector assembly apparatus includes a first connector housing, a second connector housing and the connector position assurance device.
