Patent attributes
A connector assembly comprises a first connector and a second connector. The first connector comprises a first housing provided with a stopper. The second connector comprises a second housing, a mating detecting member and a shift mechanism. The second housing is mateable with the first housing along a front-rear direction. The mating detecting member has an abutment portion. The abutment portion is movable in a direction intersecting with the front-rear direction by an operation of the shift mechanism. When the second housing is mated with the first housing under a state where the mating detecting member is positioned at a regulating position, the abutment portion abuts against the stopper, and the mating detecting member is moved from the regulating position toward an allowable position. The mating detecting member is positioned at the allowable position when a mating of the second housing with the first housing is completed.
