ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly which has a plurality of male connectors and a female connector that mates with the plurality of male connectors. Each of the male connectors has a male-type housing and a female-type contact secured to this male-type housing. Each of the male-type housings has a lock arm that is provided on the upper surface or undersurface of the male-type housing with the free end of this lock arm being positioned at the rear end of the housing. A lock arm protection member that protrudes upward or downward from the rear end of the upper surface or undersurface of the male-type housing and protects the lock arm. The female connector has a female-type housing and a male-type contact secured to this female-type housing. The female-type housing has a plurality of male connector receiving parts that receive the male-type housings and lock members on which the lock arms respectively latch. The walls between adjacent male connector receiving parts in the female-type housing are such that the front ends thereof are positioned further toward the interior than the mating surface of the female-type housing. A recessed part that receives the lock arm protection member of each of the male connectors is formed in the mating surface in the upper wall or lower wall of each of the male connector receiving parts.
