Connector assembly for being securely mounted to circuit board

A connector assembly, comprising:

• an electrical connector comprising an insulating body and a plurality of conductive terminals;
• the insulating body comprising a mounting surface configured to be mounted on a circuit board, and a mating slot configured to receive a mating connector;
• each conductive terminal comprising an elastic contact arm protruding into the mating slot and a tail portion configured to be mounted to the circuit board;
• a metal shielding cage shielding a periphery of the electrical connector;
• the metal shielding cage comprising a receiving chamber in communication with the mating slot;
• the receiving chamber being in communication with the mating slot to receive the mating connector;
• and
• a fastener configured to pass through the circuit board and be fastened to the electrical connector;
• wherein the fastener passes through the circuit board and is fastened to the insulating body of the electrical connector;
• and
• wherein the insulating body defines an internal threaded hole;
• the fastener is a bolt which is fastened in the internal threaded hole of the insulating body.
