Abstract
An electrical connector assembly includes an electrical connector and a mating connector that are mutually inserted. The mating connector includes a socket and a metal shell having an insertion end protruding from the socket formed with an opening. The electrical connector includes an insulating body and an assisting member. The insulating body includes a main body and a mating portion. An upper surface of the main body is higher than that of the mating portion. An interface is formed in the front end of the main body and is positioned behind the socket. The mating portion is smaller than the opening. The assisting member covers the insulating body. A front end of the assisting member guides the insertion of the insertion end. An accommodation space is formed between the assisting member and the main body to receive only the metal shell.
