A connector assembly comprises a first connector (1) and a second connector (2) adapted to be mated with the first connector. The first connector (1) comprises a first housing (3) having a bottom (4) and two longitudinal walls (5, 6) determining a receiving space (8), a row of male signal contacts (9) projecting from the bottom upwardly into the receiving space and a row of male ground contacts (10), wherein as seen in row direction a male ground contact is located at both sides of a corresponding male signal contact. The second connector (2) comprises a second housing (11) which can be substantially completely received within the receiving space, and a row of female signal contacts (12) adapted to be connected with the male signal contacts when the connectors are mated. Each female signal contact is at least partially enclosed by a corresponding female ground contact (13) having two contact parts (14) adapted to be connected with the male ground contacts at both sides of the corresponding male signal contact when the connectors are mated. The female ground contact extends along substantially the full height of the second housing.
