Abstract
An electrical connector includes a base, a number of first conductive terminals and a number of second conductive terminals. The base includes a mounting surface. Each first conductive terminal includes a first elastic arm. Each second conductive terminal includes a second elastic arm. The first elastic arm and the second elastic arm include a first abutting portion and a second abutting portion, respectively, for abutting against a circuit board. The present disclosure also discloses a connector assembly having the electrical connector. Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure reduces a space occupied by the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm by setting extension directions of the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm to be opposite. As a result, it is beneficial to miniaturization of the electrical connector and the connector assembly.
