ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly includes a male connector, a female connector, a guiding portion and a positioning portion. The male connector has a male connector housing with a terminal side through which male terminals extend. The female connector has a female connector housing with female terminals disposed to connect with the male terminals through a terminal side of the female connector housing. In a preferred embodiment, the guiding portion guides the female connector in a guiding direction that intersects a normal axis extending perpendicular to the terminal side of the male connector. The positioning portion stops the female connector upon contacting the positioning portion in a position at which the male terminals are aligned with the female terminals. As a result, a reliable electrical connection can be established even if the space for fitting the male and female connectors together is limited.
