ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly is disclosed, in which elastic contact and electric connection between first contacts supported in a first contact body and second contacts supported in a second connector body is obtained when the second connector body is inserted into the first connector body through an opening. Automatic lock means is provided which automatically locks the second connector body to the first connector body when the former is correctly inserted into the latter. The first connector body has one surface formed with a complementary recess and an aperture extending from the bottom of the recess to reach the opening. A lock piece integral with the first connector body can be turned to be received in the complementary recess. The lock piece has an integral engagement ridge. When the lock piece is received in the complementary recess in a state where the second connector body is correctly inserted in the first connector body, the engagement recess passes through the aperture to be engaged with an engagement recess formed in the second connector body, whereby the first and second connector bodies are locked in a correctly coupled state.
