Disclosed is a connector assembly, which includes a plurality of male housing modules which are separable from each other and attached together to form a male housing unit; and a female housing adapted to receive the male housing unit to be inserted into the female housing. Each of the male housing modules has at least one male housing module's terminal, and the female housing has female housing's terminals each of which is to be electrically connected with one of the male housing module's terminals of the male housing modules. The connector assembly has a locking mechanism for releasably locking the male housing unit with respect to the female housing, and the locking means is mounted on an outermost one of the male housing modules. Moreover, the connector assembly comprises a holding mechanism for tightly holding the outermost one of the male housing modules with respect to another one of the male housing modules attached adjacent to the outermost one of the male housing modules. The holding mechanism holds a portion of the outermost one of the male housing modules at which the locking mechanism is mounted on the outermost one of the male housing modules, and reinforces the mounted portion of the outermost housing module against a force applied through the locking mechanism.
