An electrical connector assembly includes a male connector (10, 10') and a female connector (50, 50') wherein the male connector (10, 10') includes an insulative first. housing (12, 12') with at least one row of sleeve members (14, 14') extending forward for accommodating a corresponding number of receptacle contacts therein and the female connector (50, 50') includes an insulative second housing (52, 52') defining a same number of cavities (54, 54') therein for respectively receiving a corresponding number of plug contacts therein and further being adapted to respectively receive the corresponding sleeve members (14, 14') of the male connector (10) so that each plug contact can be engaged with the corresponding receptacle contact which is accommodated within the sleeve member (14, 14') which shares the same cavity (54, 54') with the plug contact. A pair of keys (18, 18') are respectively disposed on two sleeve members (14, 14') at two opposite ends, and a pair of keyways (58, 58') are respectively formed, adjacent to two cavities (54, 54') at two opposite ends, in the housing (52, 52') of the female connector (50, 50'), thus assuring only the male connector (10, 10') and the female connector (50, 50') having the same number of the mating ports, i.e., the sleeve members (14, 14') the cavities (54, 54'), can be mated with each other.
