1. An electrical connector assembly, comprising:
a first connector, comprising:
a first body;
at least one first terminal and a plurality of second terminals disposed in the first body, the second terminals symmetrically arranged at two opposite sides of the at least one first terminal;
a second connector to be mated with the first connector, the second connector comprising:
a second body;
at least one third terminal movably disposed in the second body;
a plurality of fourth terminals disposed in the second body and symmetrically arranged at two opposite sides of the at least one third terminal; and
a driving module electrically connected to at least one of the fourth terminals and structurally connected to the at least one third terminal,
wherein in a mating process of the first connector and the second connector, the second terminals and the fourth terminals are electrically connected firstly, so as to trigger the driving module to move the at least one third terminal to be structurally and electrically connected to the at least one first terminal.
