ABSTRACT:
A board-to-board connector assembly (10) includes a socket connector (12) with plural rigid contacts (48) therein and a counterpart plug connector (14) with plural flexible contacts (20) therein. Locking tabs with protrusions are formed on the exterior surfaces (43) of the socket connector (12) and the corresponding recesses (56) are formed in side walls (58) of the plug connector (14) so that there is a retention function between these two mating connectors (12, 14) when they are coupled with each other. The housing (16, 36) of each connector (14, 12) further includes an expansion section (15, 11) at either end for protectively avoiding damage of the contact tails (24, 50) due to exterior impact during delivery. Additionally, the engaging body (52) of the contact (48) of the socket connector (12) is substantially positioned beyond the partition rib (46), and thus the barbs (54) formed on two sides of the engaging body (52) each has a coined portion so that such barb (54) can be substantially completely embedded within the corresponding passage (42) defined between two adjacent ribs (46) for reinforcing the retention function with regard to the housing (36) for preventing contact (48) of the socket connector (12) from deforming or tilting during mating.
