Patent number: 10230197Abstract: A connector position assurance (CPA) for ensuring the contact position of a plug housing on a mating plug housing includes a housing configured to be pushed onto the plug housing in a mounting direction and a locking element configured to block a latching element of the plug housing. The housing of the CPA has a passage opening configured to receive the plug housing during the mounting process. The locking element is arranged on the housing of the CPA and has a free end that extends along the mounting direction. The locking element is offset toward the outside transverse to the mounting direction in relation to the housing of the CPA in order to keep the risk of interlocking as low as possible. A plug connector arrangement includes the CPA.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2015Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Martin Saur, Jens Oberender
