Abstract
A connector assembly includes a receptacle connector and a plug connector that mates with the receptacle connector. The receptacle connector includes a receptacle housing and receptacle terminals attached to the receptacle housing. The receptacle housing includes a housing wall portion located between a press-fit portion and a contact portion of the receptacle terminals. The plug connector includes a plug housing and plug terminals attached to the plug housing. The plug housing includes a flange formed on at least a first outer edge in a region where the plug terminals are mounted. When the receptacle connector and the plug connector are mated, more than half of the upper surface of the flange can abut against the upper wall surface of at least one housing wall portion of the receptacle housing. The connector assembly according to this application is easy to manufacture, achieves miniaturization and low height, and improves reliability.
