Abstract
A pyrotechnic electrical connector comprises a housing and a connector position assurance device. The housing is configured for plugging in and locking to a mating connector. The housing receives a plurality of electrical terminals to be connected to a plurality of mating electrical terminals of the mating connector. The connector position assurance device is insertable in the housing in an insertion direction to a delivery position and a locking position. The locking position maintains locking of the housing to the mating connector when the housing is plugged in and locked to the mating connector. Insertion of the connector position assurance device is blocked at the delivery position and prevented from reaching the locking position if the housing is not plugged in or locked to the mating connector.
