Abstract: An electrical connector for a safety restraint system of a motor vehicle comprises a housing, a pair of electrical terminals, a shunt and a connector position assurance (CPA) device. The housing includes a first end and a second end, the second end extending in a mating direction of the connector. Each of the electrical terminals traverses the housing from the first end to the second end. The shunt is adapted to short-circuit the pair of electrical terminals, and comprises two shunt arms each having a contact portion and a linking portion, and a shunt bridge linking the linking portions of the shunt arms. The CPA device is moveably arranged in the housing between an unlocked position and a locked position. In the locked position the CPA device lifts the shunt from a short-circuiting position across the terminals.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing formed in a single piece and including a recess, a compression spring disposed in the recess, and a position assurance element having a head disposed in the recess and inserted through a first end of the compression spring.

Abstract: A connector assembly device includes a connector element and a connector position assurance (CPA) device mounted to move relative to the connector element between a delivery position and a locking position. The connector element includes a first locking device and a second locking device. The CPA device includes a locking lance that has an associated first locking device configured to implement a first form-fitting connection with the first locking device of the connector element and an associated second locking device configured to implement a second form-fitting connection with the second locking device of the connector element in the locking position. The form-fitting connections prevent any movement of the CPA device in a direction from the locking position towards the delivery position and take place in different planes.

Abstract: An electrical connector for connecting with a mating electrical connector in a mating direction includes an electrically conductive terminal having an electrical contact, a housing having a plug-in portion insertable into the mating electrical connector along the mating direction, the plug-in portion having a receptacle receiving the electrical contact, a compressive member arranged within the housing and compressed along the mating direction, and a connector position assurance element (CPA) slidable from an unlocked position to a locked position along the mating direction.
