Plug connector, receptacle connector and connector assembly with power supply function

A receptacle connector, comprising:

• an insulating body, the insulating body comprising a base and a mating protrusion extending from the base, the mating protrusion comprising a mating surface and a mating slot extending through the mating surface;
• and
• a plurality of conductive terminals, the plurality of conductive terminals comprising a first row of conductive terminals and a second row of conductive terminals, the first row of each conductive terminal comprising a first elastic contact portion extending into the mating slot, the second row of each conductive terminal comprising a second elastic contact portion extending into the mating slot, the first elastic contact portions and the second elastic contact portions being located on opposite sides of the mating slot, respectively;
• wherein the receptacle connector further comprises at least one receptacle power terminal, the receptacle power terminal comprises a plate-shaped contact portion located on at least one side of the mating slot in a width direction of the mating protrusion, and the plate-shaped contact portion is located outside the mating protrusion.

A connector assembly, comprising:

• a plug connector, comprising:
• a tongue plate, the tongue plate extending along a longitudinal direction, at least one side of the tongue plate being provided with a plurality of conductive pads, the conductive pads located on a same side of the tongue plate being arranged at intervals along a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction;
• and
• a metal shell, the metal shell being located on a periphery of the tongue plate, the metal shell comprising a first wall portion, a second wall portion opposite to the first wall portion, a first side wall connecting one side of the first wall portion and one side of the second wall portion, and a second side wall connecting another side of the first wall portion and another side of the second wall portion, the first wall portion, the second wall portion, the first side wall and the second side wall being jointly enclosed to form a receiving space to receive the tongue plate, the first wall portion defining an opening extending through the first wall portion in a direction away from the second wall portion, the opening being in communication with the receiving space, the conductive pads provided on the at least one side of the tongue plate being exposed in the opening;
• wherein the plug connector further comprises at least one plug power terminal located on at least one side of the conductive pads in the transverse direction, the plug power terminal comprises an elastic mating portion protruding toward the tongue plate in the transverse direction, and the elastic mating portion protrudes into the receiving space;
• and
• a receptacle connector, comprising:
• an insulating body, the insulating body comprising a base and a mating protrusion extending from the base, the mating protrusion comprising a mating surface and a mating slot extending through the mating surface;
• and
• a plurality of conductive terminals, the plurality of conductive terminals comprising a first row of conductive terminals and a second row of conductive terminals, the first row of each conductive terminal comprising a first elastic contact portion extending into the mating slot, the second row of each conductive terminal comprising a second elastic contact portion extending into the mating slot, the first elastic contact portions and the second elastic contact portions being located on opposite sides of the mating slot, respectively;
• wherein the receptacle connector further comprises at least one receptacle power terminal, the receptacle power terminal comprises a plate-shaped contact portion located on at least one side of the mating slot in a width direction of the mating protrusion, and the plate-shaped contact portion is located outside the mating protrusion;
• wherein the tongue plate is at least partially inserted into the mating slot, so that the plurality of conductive pads are in contact with the first elastic contact portions and the second elastic contact portions, and the elastic mating portion of the plug power terminal is in contact with the plate-shaped contact portion of the receptacle power terminal.
