Abstract

An electrical connector assembly (100) includes an electrical connector (1), a cage (5) defining an opening (51), an ejection mechanism (3) assembled on an electrical device and receiving the electrical connector, and a flexible circuit board (2) connecting the electrical connector with a mother board of the electrical device for signal transmission. The ejection mechanism has a second housing (7) retractively movably relative to the first housing to extend through the opening of the cage. The electrical connector is received in the second housing such that the electrical connector is movable out of the electrical device for connecting with a mating connector and retractable in the electrical device when the electrical connector is not in use.
