1. An electrical connector assembly, comprising:
a housing;
a connector rotating unit, the connector rotating unit being rotatable under an action of an external force, the connector rotating unit comprising a rotating body, a movable post and an electrical connector fixedly connected with the rotating body, the electrical connector at least partially extending beyond the housing;
a board, the board being secured to the housing, and the board defining an arc-shaped limiting groove mated with the movable post;
a fixing post, the fixing post being secured to the board; and
an elastic member mated with the fixing post and the movable post; wherein one end of the elastic member is mounted to the fixing post, and another end of the elastic member is connected to the movable post; the movable post is movable in the arc-shaped limiting groove; the elastic member is configured to drive the movable post by a restoring force of the elastic member after the connector rotating unit is rotated, so as to rotate the connector rotating unit back to an original position.
