Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrical connector assembly and a method to assemble the same. The electrical connector assembly includes a plug connector that is configured to be mated with a corresponding counter-connector. The plug connector includes a connector housing having a guiding feature and a locking device being arranged movable relative to the connector housing. The locking device has a guiding member and a flexible arm. The flexible arm is configured to be flexed during mating the plug connector with the corresponding counter-connector such that the locking device can be moved into a locked position. The guiding feature and the guiding member are configured to guide the locking device from a first position to a locked position so that the flexible arm is reflexed when the locking device is in the locked position.
