Cable assembly floatably mounted on a panel

摘要

A cable assembly ( 7 ) includes an insulative housing ( 1 ) and a number of terminals ( 2 ) received in the insulative housing. The insulative housing includes a base ( 10 ) extending along a longitudinal direction thereof, a mating portion ( 11 ) extending forwardly from a front face ( 101 ) of the base along a mating direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, a pair of flanges ( 16 ) located at opposite ends of the base adapted for engaging with first faces of mounting wings ( 82 ) of a panel ( 8 ), and a pair of ears ( 17 ) located at the opposite ends of the base and spaced from the flanges along the mating direction adapted for engaging with opposite second faces of the mounting wings of the panel. One of the flanges defines a through hole ( 160 ) adapted for receiving a fastening member.
