Connector assembly

A connector assembly comprising a first connector and a second connector which are mateable with each other along a mating direction, wherein:

• the first connector comprises a first housing and a first locking portion;
• the first housing has a front end and a rear end in the mating direction;
• the first locking portion is positioned between the front end and the rear end of the first housing in the mating direction;
• the first locking portion comprises a solid of revolution which is distinct and separated from the first housing and rotatably supported by the first housing;
• the second connector comprises a second housing and a second locking portion;
• at least one of the first housing and the second housing is formed with a resiliently supporting portion which is resiliently deformable;
• at least one of the first locking portion and the second locking portion is supported by the resiliently supporting portion to be movable in a direction intersecting with the mating direction;
• when the first connector is mated with the second connector, the second locking portion is positioned between the first locking portion and the rear end of the first housing in the mating direction;
• when seen along the mating direction, the first locking portion and the second locking portion have a first extent and a second extent, respectively, in an orthogonal direction orthogonal to the mating direction;
• and
• when the first connector is mated with the second connector, the second extent overlaps with the first extent.
