Abstract

A connector assembly includes a connector plug and a connector socket. The connector plug includes a first and a second plug signal transmitting pieces. A plurality of parallel first plug signal transmitting pins is laid on the first plug signal transmitting piece. A plurality of parallel second plug signal transmitting pins is laid on the second plug signal transmitting piece. The connector socket includes a lower portion which includes a first receiving slot and a second receiving slot. A plurality of first socket signal transmitting lines is placed in the first receiving slot. A plurality of second socket signal transmitting lines is placed in the second receiving slot. The connector plug inserts in the connector socket to connect the first plug signal transmitting pins to the first socket signal transmitting pins, and simultaneously connect the second plug signal transmitting pins to the second socket signal transmitting pins.
