Abstract
A board-to-board connector assembly includes a receptacle connector having a plurality of first terminals, and a plug connector having a plurality of second terminals. Each of the first terminals has two contact portions located oppositely and each of the second terminals has two contact arms located face-to-face. When the plug connector is mated with the receptacle connector, the contact portions of the first terminal are clipped between the contact arms of the corresponding second terminal to electrically contact the corresponding contact arms tightly such that ensures the first terminal and the corresponding second terminal electrically connected with each other steadily.

A board-to-board connector assembly, comprising:
- a receptacle connector having
- a receptacle housing defining a plurality of first passageways, and
- a plurality of first terminals received in the corresponding first passageways, each of the first terminals having a first base portion extending longitudinally, the first base portion extending upward to form a propping portion, two sides of a top end of the propping portion protruding oppositely to form two contact portions stretching out of the corresponding first passageway;
- and
- a plug connector mated with the receptacle connector and having
- a plug housing defining a plurality of second passageways, and
- a plurality of second terminals received in the corresponding second passageways and each having a second base portion extending longitudinally, the second base portion extending downward to form two contact arms spaced from each other, two bottom ends of the two contact arms protruding face-to-face to respectively form an interference portion stretching out of the corresponding second passageway;
- wherein the contact portions of the first terminal pass the interference portions of the corresponding second terminal to be clipped between and in electrical contact with the corresponding contact arms respectively.
