Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2026421A1] An airbag electrical connector assembly comprising a socket connector (1) and a plug connector (2) having an actuator (6) for breaking the shorting condition of the shorting element (13) in the socket connector, and a CPA member (7) for latching the plug connector in a pre-mounted position within the socket connector and for locking the plug connector when the connectors (1, 2) are fully mated. The CPA member (7) includes a pair of locking legs (70) and spring arms (73). The locking legs are shifted through interspaces (24) between the latch arms (22) and the plug projection (21) into the locking position. The free end of each spring arm (73) of CPA member (7) is formed as a single lug (74) having a supporting surface (74a) for being supported on stop wall means in the plug housing (3) in the pre-mounted position of the connectors (1, 2), and first and second slanting surfaces (74b, 74c) on the lug (74) for cooperating with an inner insert wall (17) of the socket connector for deflecting the spring arm (73) to come free from the stop wall means, and for being latched behind the stop wall means.
