Zusammenfassung:A fluid connector assembly comprises a tubular member, a fitting body having a bore for receiving the tubular member, a resilient clip mounted on the body to lock the tubular member in the fitting body when the insertion end of the tubular member is fully inserted into the bore in the housing, and an assurance cap slidably mounted on the tubular member to ensure full insertion of the tubular member in the body. The assurance cap defines a continuous annular body with radially inward extending latch edges at an end of latch fingers configured for latching with an edge of a recessed latch groove formed in the fitting body only when the tubular member is in the fully inserted position in the fitting body.
