Connector assembly with mating process

A connector assembly, comprising:

• a first connector comprising a first housing and a first terminal held by the first housing, the first terminal having a first contact portion which extends in a first direction;
• and
• a second connector comprising a second housing, a second terminal held by the second housing, a second shell around at least a part of the second housing, and an actuator which is rotatably provided to the second shell, the second terminal extending in the first direction and having a second contact portion, wherein
• the actuator is capable of rotating between a non-actuating position and an actuating position relative to the second shell, and
• in a mating process of the first connector and the second connector, the first connector and the second connector first move toward each other along the first direction when the actuator is in the non-actuating position, then the actuator pushes the first connector along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction to make the first contact portion of the first terminal contact the second contact portion of the second terminal and make the first connector and the second connector mate with each other when the actuator rotates from the non-actuating position to the actuating position.
