Patent number: 12132279Abstract: A connector includes a housing having a mating portion matable with a mating connector and a flexible beam with a housing-side catch portion, and a connection position assurance device (CPA) that slides between a first position on the housing and a second position closer to the mating portion than the first position. The CPA in the second position assures that the connector is completely mated with the mating connector. The flexible beam extends in a sliding direction of the CPA and slidably supports the CPA. The housing-side catch portion interferes with the CPA and deflects by interfering with the CPA. The CPA includes a rail that has a device-side catch portion interfering with the housing-side catch portion and that slides while being supported by the flexible beam.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2022Date of Patent: October 29, 2024Assignee: Tyco Electronics Japan G.K.Inventor: Hiromichi Yoshino
