An electrical connector assembly for a safety system comprises a first connector. The first connector comprises an elongated housing aligned along a longitudinal axis, and a first connector's connection face facing perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, along a mating axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The first connector comprises first locking means to lock the first connector to a second connector and second locking means that prevent the first locking means from releasing. The connector assembly further comprises the second connector comprising a second connector's connection face surrounded at least partly by a shroud, facing along the mating axis towards the first connector's connection face, wherein the shroud comprises third locking means that cooperate with the first locking means to lock the first connector to the second connector when mated along the mating axis. The extension of the mated connector assembly, along the mating axis, is smaller than the extension along the longitudinal axis and also smaller than the extension along a transverse axis arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and the mating axis.
