Abstract

A plug connector includes a case and a securing portion located in the case. The case is configured to receive a coupling end of a socket connector and includes two opposite sidewalls. The securing portion has a plurality of resilient pins configured to electronically couple to the socket connector. An inner surface of each sidewall is configured to abut against a side surface of the coupling end. Each sidewall defines a positioning slot extending outwardly from the inner surface of the sidewall. The positioning slot is configured to engage a positioning block extending from the coupling end. A socket connector matched to the plug connector and a connector assembly including the plug connector and the socket connector are further provided.
