Connector assembly with improved mating reliability

A cable connector, configured to mate with a mating connector, comprising:

• a first body, the first body defining a first mating slot configured to receive a mating element along a mating direction;
• and
• a plurality of first conductive terminals, each first conductive terminal comprising a first mating portion, and the first mating portion extending into the first mating slot and being configured to mate with the mating element;
• wherein the cable connector comprises an output end;
• the output end comprises an insertion portion of a circuit board, and a plurality of cables;
• the insertion portion is configured to electrically mate with the mating connector;
• parts of the plurality of first conductive terminals are electrically connected with the plurality of cables to transmit high-speed signals;
• and another parts of the plurality of first conductive terminals are electrically connected with the insertion portion;
• the first body comprises a first side wall and a second side wall disposed opposite to the first side wall, the first side wall comprises at least one locking structure configured to be lockable with the mating connector, and the second side wall comprises at least one another locking structure configured to be lockable with the mating connector.

A cable connector, configured to mate with a mating connector, comprising:

• a first body, the first body defining a first mating surface and a first mating slot, the first mating slot being configured to receive a mating element along a mating direction, the first mating slot extending through the first mating surface along a first direction opposite to the mating direction;
• and
• a plurality of first conductive terminals, each first conductive terminal comprising a first mating portion, and the first mating portion extending into the first mating slot and being configured to mate with the mating element;
• wherein the cable connector comprises an output end;
• the output end comprises an insertion portion of a circuit board, and a plurality of cables;
• the insertion portion is configured to electrically mate with the mating connector;
• parts of the plurality of first conductive terminals are electrically connected with the plurality of cables to transmit high-speed signals;
• and another parts of the plurality of first conductive terminals are electrically connected with the insertion portion;
• the first body comprises a first side wall, a second side wall disposed opposite to the first side wall, a third wall disposed farther away from the first mating surface, and a fourth wall disposed opposite to the first mating surface along the mating direction;
• wherein the plurality of cables extend beyond the first body from the third wall;
• wherein the third wall and the fourth wall are disposed in different planes;
• wherein the fourth wall is disposed farther away from the mating surface than the third wall;
• and wherein the first side wall comprises at least one locking structure configured to be lockable with the mating connector.
