Abstract: A connector assembly includes a plug connector including a plug housing and an engaging portion that outwardly protrudes from each of side-surfaces of the plug housing, and a receptacle connector including a receptacle housing and a metal fitting that is formed at each of side walls of the receptacle housing, the metal fitting including a retaining portion that is formed at a lower part of the metal fitting and is exposed at a lower part of each of the side walls, and a beam portion that is formed at an upper part of the metal fitting and inwardly projects from each of the side walls of the receptacle housing at a height above a bottom surface of the receptacle housing, the beam portion forming a space with the bottom surface of the receptacle housing to receive the engaging portion of the plug connector.

Abstract: A connector which is to be mounted on a substrate includes a housing member having an opening portion in which an electrical device is to be inserted, and a contact member provided in the housing member to electrically connect the electrical device with the substrate. The contact member includes a first portion, a second portion facing the first portion with a gap and supported elastically with respect to the first portion, and a third portion supported by the second portion. The third portion comes into contact with a terminal of the electrical device electrically when the second portion is pushed by a pushing member which is to be inserted into the gap between the first portion and the second portion.
