An electrical connector assembly (1) comprises a plug (5) and a modular jack (2). The modular jack comprises a housing (10) defining a front opening (12) and a receptacle space (11) in communication with the front opening. A terminal module (20) is received in said receptacle space and includes a base (22) and terminals (21) held in the base, each terminal including a contact portion (21a) extending rearward and upward from the base. An anti-mismating mechanism (40) received in the receptacle space comprises a front girder (43) forming a slanted supporting portion (431) abutting against the contact portions of the terminals, force receiving portions (41) formed on opposite ends of the supporting portion and adapted to be pushed by the complementary plug, and a resilient member (45) exerting a forward pushing force against the supporting portion.
