Abstract:
An electrical connector assembly for electrically connecting two circuit substrates, the electrical connector assembly comprising:a first electrical connector comprising a first insulative housing and a plurality of first electrical terminals received in the first housing, a pair of first end walls at opposite ends of the first housing, and an island between the first end walls; and a second connector comprising a second insulative housing and a plurality of second electrical terminals received in the second housing, a pair of second end walls at opposite ends of the second housing, each of the second end walls defining an opening in a portion thereof distal from a main body of the second housing, each of the second end walls further defining a recess adjoining an outer main face thereof; wherein when the first and second connectors are connected or disconnected at a slight angle, interference therebetween can be eliminated; wherein a distance spanning between outmost distal portions of the second end walls is greater than a distance spanning between the recesses of the second end walls.
