Abstract
A connector assembly comprises a connector and a mating connector. The mating connector comprises a mating housing. The mating housing is formed with a release projection. The connector comprises a first housing and a second housing. The first housing is provided with a stopper. The second housing is provided with a stopped portion. One of the first housing and the second housing is provided with a second support portion which supports a supported portion. When the second housing is installed to the first housing, the stopped portion is brought into abutment with the stopper, and a movement of the second housing is regulated by the stopper. When the thus-regulated second housing is received into the mating housing together with the first housing, one of the second support portion and the supported portion is brought into abutment with the release projection so that the regulation of the second housing is released.
