Connector assembly
A connector assembly has a first connector, a second connector matable with the first connector along a mating direction, a mating assistance mechanism, a mating maintenance mechanism, and a detection mechanism. The mating maintenance mechanism includes a stopper, an engagement portion and an elastic support. The engagement portion is configured to be engaged with the stopper in a mating state of the first connector and the second connector so as to maintain the mating state. The detection mechanism is operable to detect the mating state and includes a short-circuit member and first and second terminals having first and second contacting sections, respectively, extending along the mating direction. The short-circuit member is arranged to establish a short circuit between the first terminal and the second terminal in the mating state.
