Abstract
An electrical connector assembly includes a female connector (100) and a male connector (200) mating with each other. Each of the female connector and the male connector includes a housing (1, 4) and a number of terminals (2, 5) secured in the housing. The housing has a number of channels and a number of standoffs (13) arranged alternately along a lengthwise direction, and a number of indentations (14) each defined beside a corresponding standoff. Two adjacent standoffs are staggered. Each terminal has a contacting section. The contacting sections of the terminals of the female connector contact with those of the terminals of the male connector. The standoffs of the male connector engage with the indentations of the female connector.
