1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to connectors and, more particularly, to a connector assembly used in an electronic device.
2. Description of Related Art
A connector is generally used to connect two electronic devices to transmit signals between the electronic devices, or to connect an electronic device with a power supply to supply power for the electronic device.
In testing a motherboard of an electronic device, a connector of a power supply is firstly insert into a connector of the motherboard to supply power for the motherboard to be tested, and then is removed from the connector of the motherboard after the motherboard has been tested. During mass production, all the motherboards have to be tested. Thus, the connector needs to be inserted into and removed from the connectors of the motherboards repeatedly. Typically, the aforementioned operations are always performed when the motherboard is power-on, as well as hot-plugging. However, during the aforementioned operations, the order of contacting between each pair of pins of the connector is difficult to control, which leads to disorganized signals.
What is desired, therefore, is a connector assembly which avoids unordered contact between pins of a male connector and pins of a female connector.
