A connector assembly comprises a first connector and a second connector mateable with each other. The first connector comprises a first shell which has a first mateable portion and a first key. The first key is located outward of the first mateable portion. The second connector comprises a second shell which has a second mateable portion and comprises a housing which has a projecting end and a second key. The projecting end faces the first connector when the first connector and the second connector are under a separated state where they are separated from each other. The second key is a groove which extends from the projecting end. When the first connector and the second connector are mated with each other, the second mateable portion is received in the first mateable portion, and the first key is received in the second key.

Connector assembly

A connector assembly includes a connector, a housing having an insertion port, and a waterproof cap detachably attached to the housing to close the insertion port, the waterproof cap having a cap body, a first protruding portion continuously surrounding an entire periphery of an outer peripheral surface of the cap body, and a second protruding portion disposed on a front end side of the cap body in a fitting direction from a position at which the first protruding portion is disposed, when the waterproof cap is attached to the housing, the first protruding portion being press-fitted to the insertion port and contacting an entire periphery of an inner peripheral surface of the insertion port while being elastically compressed, the second protruding portion being inserted into the connector and contacting at least two inner surfaces of the connector facing each other while being elastically compressed.

Connector

Cap for connector

A connector assembly comprises a first connector and a second connector connectable to each other. The first connector comprises first terminals each having a first contact portion, a first shell having a first mating portion and a first engagement member formed with an engagement recess. The second connector comprises second terminals each having a second contact portion, a second shell having a second mating portion and a second engagement member having an engagement projection. Under a connected state where the first connector and the second connector are connected to each other, the first mating portion and the second mating portion entirely enclose contact areas in a perpendicular plane (YZ-plane) at which the first contact portions are in contact with the second contact portions. Under the connected state, the engagement projection and the engagement recess are engaged with each other to lock the connected state.
