The electrical connector assembly comprises first (12) and second (14) connectors each including an array of first (24) and second (48) contact elements, respectively. One of the connectors is provided with a collar (30) surrounding the array of contact elements and projecting therebeyond. The other connector is provided with guiding elements (38) projecting from the respective connector. Within the array defined by the collar there is provided an abutment edge (56,60,66,74,76) extending within the area of contact elements of that connector and above these contact elements. The greatest distance (52,78) between the collar portions and the abutment edge is smaller than the width (50) of the guiding elements so that in case of a misalignment where the connectors are displaced relative to each other, the guiding element by the collar and the abutment edge is prevented from contacting the contact elements surrounded by the collar. |
