  • Publication number: 20230054113
    Abstract: A connector assembly comprises a first connector and a second connector. The first connector includes a first housing and first connection terminals. The first housing defines a receiving cavity with an open upper end. A second connector includes a second housing and second connection terminals. The second housing is adapted to be partially inserted into the receiving cavity such that the second connection terminals electrically contact with the first connection terminals. The second housing defines an oblique-insertion restriction structure protruding from a remaining uninserted portion of the second housing. The restriction structure is sized and positioned to abut against an upper end surface of the first housing in a condition in which the second housing is inserted into the receiving cavity in an oblique posture relative to the first housing.
