Electrical Connector and Electrical Connector Assembly

A counterpart electrical connector, comprising:

• a counterpart housing and counterpart conductive terminals, the counterpart housing being provided with counterpart terminal passageways, the counterpart conductive terminals being provided in the respective counterpart terminal passageways and corresponding to and being mated with the respective conductive terminals of an electrical connector, which is mated with the counterpart electrical connector, to realize electrical connection,
• wherein the counterpart housing comprises:
• a guiding portion receiving portion which is communicated with the corresponding counterpart terminal passageway and is used to receive the guiding portion of the electrical connector;
• and
• conductive terminal receiving portions which are communicated with the respective counterpart terminal passageways and are used to receive the respective conductive terminals of the electrical connector;
• wherein the guiding portion receiving portion and the conductive terminal receiving portions are provided on a mating surface of the counterpart housing, and extend from the mating surface toward an interior of the counterpart housing;
• wherein the guiding portion receiving portion is provided therein with a partitioning wall.

An electrical connector assembly, comprising:

• an electrical connector comprising:
• a housing and conductive terminals,
• wherein the housing comprises:
• a base portion which is provided with a plurality of terminal passageways, the plurality of terminal passageways penetrate from a rear surface of the base portion to a front surface of the base portion, the conductive terminal is provided in the corresponding terminal passageway and is exposed from the front surface of the base portion to form a contacting end portion;
• and
• a guiding portion which extends forwardly from the base portion to form a cooperating end portion, a distance between the cooperating end portion and the front surface of the base portion is greater than a distance between the contacting end portion of the conductive terminal and the front surface of the base portion, a side surface of the guiding portion is provided with a placing groove which allows the corresponding conductive terminal to be inserted therein, the placing groove is communicated with the corresponding terminal passageway so that a part of the corresponding conductive terminal is provided in the corresponding terminal passageway and another part of the corresponding conductive terminal is placed in the placing groove, the guiding portion being provided therein with a partitioning groove, the partitioning groove being opened toward a mating direction of the electrical connector and a counterpart electrical connector;
• and
• a counterpart electrical connector comprising:
• a counterpart housing and counterpart conductive terminals, the counterpart housing being provided with counterpart terminal passageways, the counterpart conductive terminals being provided in the respective counterpart terminal passageways and corresponding to and being mated with the respective conductive terminals of an electrical connector, which is mated with the counterpart electrical connector, to realize electrical connection,
• wherein the counterpart housing comprises:
• a guiding portion receiving portion which is communicated with the corresponding counterpart terminal passageway and is used to receive the guiding portion of the electrical connector;
• and
