Abstract:
An electrical connector assembly, comprising:a plug unit with a first insulator housing and a socket unit with a second insulator housing, the plug unit and the socket unit each having more than one electrical terminal, each of the electrical terminals being surrounded by integral anti-shock sleeves projecting from each of the first and second insulator housings; the first insulator housing of the plug unit being a receptacle housing and having plug pin terminals inside the anti-shock sleeves and the second insulator housing of the socket unit being a plug housing and having socket terminals inside the anti-shock sleeves, the cross section profiles of the anti-shock sleeves of the plug unit corresponding in size and shape to the outer cross section profiles of the anti-shock sleeves of the socket unit, such that the anti-shock sleeves of the socket unit can be pushed into the anti-shock sleeves of the plug unit; wherein the anti-shock sleeves of the plug unit each have a two-chamber cross section profile including a first chamber surrounding each plug pin terminal and being the receiving chamber for the anti-shock sleeve of the socket unit and a second chamber devoid of electrical terminals, the second chamber being parallel to and integrally formed with the first chamber and being separated from the first chamber by an insulator partition.
