Abstract

The present disclosure provides a connector with shielding elastic piece and a connector assembly. The connector with shielding elastic piece comprises a housing and an outer shielding elastic piece. The housing comprises an opening. One end of the outer shielding elastic piece is secured to an outer wall of the housing. The outer shielding elastic piece extends in a direction away from the opening and comprises a first contacting bump and a second contacting bump. The second contacting bump is disposed at one side of the first contacting bump away from the opening. The first contacting bump extends along the outer wall. The extending direction of the second contacting bump and the extending direction of the first contacting bump form an angle.
