A connector assembly has a pair of male and female connectors which are engaged together to electrically connect male and female terminals provided in the male and female connectors. The female connector comprises a connector housing, spring, and a retainer. Engaging steps on the ends of the flexible arms of the retainer engage the engaging projections on the connector housing, and the spring is held between the connector housing and the retainer in a compressed state. When the female connector is inserted to a male connector, locking arms provided to the retainer interlocks with the locking holes formed in the male connector. At this position, tapered faces provided in the male connector wedge into a space between the flexible arms and the engaging projections to release the engagement, resulting in releasing the tensile force of the compressed spring, and forcing the connector housing to advance towards the male connector.
