ABSTRACT Electrical Connector Assembly To reduce wear on the contact area of contacts of an electrical connector assembly each of the contacts of a male connector of the assembly is provided with a displacement member which is arranged to cooperate with respective contact members of a corresponding female connector of the assembly to displace the contact members during mating of the connectors. In a particular embodiment a printed circuit board (2) carries an attachment in the form of a comb which attachment has a plurality of displacement members (8) respectively arranged to lie alongside printed contact areas (9) of the printed circuit board(2). In use a part (7) of each contact member of a female connector rides up a forward ramp of the respective displacement member (8) travels along a plateau and rides down a rear- ward ramp after the leading edge of the printed circuit board (2) has passed over the contact area of the respective female contact. Preferably electrical contact between the female contact and the contact area (9) of the printed circuit board (2) is permitted after the leading edge has passed over the contact area but before completion of mating of the printed circuit board (2) to the female connector so as to assist the removal of any film or debris in the respective contact areas.
