Abstract
A connector assembly has a first connector and a second connector. The first connector includes a first housing and a first terminal arranged in the first housing. The first terminal includes a first terminal mating portion. The second connector includes a second housing and a second terminal arranged in the second housing. The second terminal includes a second terminal mating portion that corresponds to the first terminal mating portion. The first terminal mating portion is identical to the second terminal mating portion but is inverted 180 degrees relative to the second terminal mating portion.
