A squib connector for automotive air bag assemblies is disclosed. The squib connector includes a connector position assurance mechanism (CPA) to ensure that the connector is properly connected to the squib receptacle and a connector lock assurance mechanism (CLA) to ensure that the connector is locked into the receptacle. The connector includes a pair of terminals each having contact beams which provide at least four points of contact with the terminals of the squib. Primary and secondary terminal latches ensure that the terminals are firmly retained within the connector. Wire strain relief is provided by placing an intentional bend in the wires and rounding the end of the connector where the wires enter.
