Patent attributes
A connector assembly includes a first connector and a second connector. The second connector has a receptacle portion configured to receive a mating portion of the first connector, a lock key, and a biasing member. The lock key has a pushed portion and is received in the receptacle portion so as to be movable between a locking position and an unlocking position. The biasing member is configured to bias the lock key toward the locking position. The mating portion of the first connector has a positioning key having a pusher and a locking portion. When the first connector is inserted along the insertion direction, the pushed portion is pushed by the pusher, so that the lock key is temporarily moved to the unlocking position and then moved to the locking position. Thus, a mating state of the first connector and the second connector is locked.
