Connector assembly

A connector assembly, comprising:

• a board-end connector comprising:
• an outer shell, comprising a cover plate and a frame opening portion at one side of the cover plate, wherein the outer shell has a plurality of first elastic pieces and a plurality of second elastic pieces, the first elastic pieces extend from two sides of the frame opening portion toward an interior of the frame opening portion, and the second elastic pieces extend from the cover plate toward an interior of the cover plate;
• an insulated housing in the outer shell, wherein the insulated housing has a receiving cavity and an insertion opening in communication with the receiving cavity and corresponding to the frame opening portion, a surface of the insulated housing has a plurality of through holes for receiving the second elastic pieces;
• a terminal module in the receiving cavity of the insulated housing, wherein the terminal module comprises a plurality of ground terminals and a plurality of pairs of signal terminals arranged as a single row along an axial line;
• and
• a conductive body comprising a main body and a plurality of third elastic pieces, wherein the main body is in the receiving cavity of the insulated housing and connected to the second elastic pieces, and each of the third elastic pieces extends outwards from the main body and is connected to a corresponding one of the ground terminals;
• and
• a cable-end connector comprising a flexible parallel cable and a plug at one end of the flexible parallel cable, wherein two surfaces of the flexible parallel cable comprise a plurality of grounding conduction portions;
• wherein when the plug and the flexible parallel cable of the cable-end connector are inserted into the receiving cavity through the insertion opening, each of the grounding conduction portions contacts a corresponding one of the first elastic pieces to allow an electrical connection among the flexible parallel cable, the outer shell, the conductive body, and the ground terminals to be established.
