Patent ID: 6902411

Claim:
A connector assembly comprising a pair of connectors, each of the connectors including: an insulating housing; contacts arranged in at least one row in the longitudinal direction of the insulating housing; and soldering pegs that are disposed at the longitudinal ends of the insulating housing and capable of moving vertically; wherein the soldering pegs of one of the connectors each have a pair of engaging arms each of which is spaced apart from a wall of the insulating housing of the connector and configured to resiliently deform outwardly; the soldering pegs of the other of the connectors each have a pair of engaging arms each of which is spaced apart from a wall of the insulating housing of the connector and configured to resiliently deform inwardly; and the engaging arms of the soldering pegs each have a locking protrusion, the locking protrusions of the engaging arms interacting during connection of the connectors to resiliently deform the engaging arms, the interaction between the locking protrusions being eliminated when the connectors are completely connected to each other, allowing the engaging arms to relax.
