A connector assembly includes a socket connector, and a plug connector including a plug housing and plug terminals disposed in the plug housing and each having a contact portion projected sideward out of the plug housing. The socket connector includes a socket housing defining an insertion space, plug terminals disposed in the socket housing and contact pads embedded in two opposite inner sidewalls of the insertion space to connect with the plug terminals and exposed in the insertion space. Two end edges of the inner sidewalls of the insertion space are designed with two arc-shaped guiding surfaces. A bottom of each contact pad is bent and embedded in the inner sidewall to realize a smooth connection of the contact pad and the guiding surface so as to guide the contact portions to be inserted into the insertion space along the guiding surfaces and electrically contact with the contact pads.

1. A connector assembly, comprising: a socket connector adapted for being soldered on a first printed circuit board, the socket connector including: a socket housing defining an insertion space at a lower portion thereof, at least two embedding grooves being defined in two opposite inner sidewalls of the insertion space and communicating with the insertion space, a top of the embedding groove penetrating upward through a top of the socket housing and a bottom of the embedding groove being deeply curved into the corresponding inner sidewall of the insertion space, the top of the socket housing defining at least two first terminal grooves connected with the tops of the embedding grooves respectively, two bottom edges of the two opposite inner sidewalls of the insertion space being designed with two arc-shaped guiding surfaces;at least two socket terminals received in the first terminal grooves of the socket housing with first soldering portions thereof projecting beyond a front of the socket housing to be soldered on the first printed circuit board; andat least two contact pads inserted in the embedding grooves of the socket housing and face-to-face exposed in the insertion space, with a top end of each contact pad being fastened in the top of the corresponding embedding groove to electrically contact with the socket terminal, and a bottom end of each contact pad being bent to be embedded in the bottom of the embedding groove so as to realize a smooth connection of the contact pad and the guiding surface; anda plug connector adapted to be engaged with the socket connector and soldered on a second printed circuit board, the plug connector including: a plug housing including a base board, a top of the base board protruding upward to form an insertion head defining at least two second terminal grooves vertically penetrating through the base board, and further oppositely passing through two opposite outsides of the insertion head; andat least two plug terminals received in the second terminal grooves, each of the plug terminals having a second contact portion arched outward to elastically project sideward out of the second terminal groove and a second soldering portion projected under the base board to be soldered on the second printed circuit board, the second contact portion together with the insertion head being inserted into the insertion space of the socket housing along the guiding surfaces to electrically contact with the contact pads. 2. The connector assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein each contact pad has a base plate disposed in the embedding groove, a top of the base plate extends upward to form a contact piece fastened in the top of the embedding groove to contact with the socket terminal, a bottom of the base plate is bent sideward to form a fastening piece embedded in the bottom of the embedding groove, the base plates of the contact pads are disposed in the embedding grooves in one way of being slightly inclined opposite to each other from top to bottom. 3. The connector assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein each plug terminal has a second base portion fastened in the second terminal groove, and a connecting portion bent outward and then extending upward from a bottom of the second base portion, the second contact portion is arched away from the second base portion from a free end of the connecting portion, an opening is opened in a lower portion of the connecting portion, the second soldering portion is L-shaped to be connected with an inner end of the opening and located under the opening. 4. The connector assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first terminal grooves are L-shaped and apart opened in a rear of the top of the socket housing, a front of the top of the socket housing is cut off to form a passage communicating with the first terminal grooves, the socket terminal has an L-shaped first base portion secured in the first terminal groove, a substantial V-shaped elastic arm is connected with a front end of the first base portion and located in the passage, a free end of the elastic arm is curved rearward to form the first soldering portion soldered on the first printed circuit board. 5. The connector assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the plug housing further has a connecting board formed between the base board and the insertion head, the second terminal grooves further vertically penetrate through the connecting board. 6. The connector assembly as claimed in claim 5, further comprising a holder, a bottom of the holder being cut off to define a base groove for receiving the base board therein, a top side of the base groove being further concaved upward to form a fixing groove penetrating upward through a top of the holder for securing the connecting board of the plug housing therein.
