ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly includes a plug connector and a receptacle connector. The plug connector has plug contacts and a shroud partially surrounding the plug contacts. The shroud has a shape that is elongated along a longitudinal axis. The stood frames the plug contacts. The receptacle connector has a nose with a shape that is elongated along the longitudinal axis. The nose includes a plurality of slots formed therein and oriented along a transverse axis relative to the longitudinal axis. The plug contacts are separated from the shroud such that when the plug and receptacle connectors are co-nested with one another, the nose is received in the shroud and the plug contacts are received in a corresponding one of the slots in order to mate the plug and receptacle connectors.
