Abstract
A connector assembly includes a first connector and a second connector. The first connector includes a first housing and a first terminal held by the first housing, the first terminal has a first contact portion which extends in a first direction. The second connector includes a second housing and a second terminal held by the second housing, the second terminal extends in the first direction and has a second contact portion. In a mating process of the first connector and the second connector, the first connector and the second connector firstly move toward each other along the first direction, then move along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction relative to each other to make the first contact portion of the first terminal contact the second contact portion of the second terminal and make the first connector and the second connector mate with each other.
