Connector assembly floating mount

摘要

A system is disclosed for mounting a connecting device to a substrate with relative floating movement therebetween. The system includes a connector housing. A fastening nut is captured by the housing with relative floating movement therebetween. The nut includes a shank portion extending toward the substrate through an opening in a wall portion of the housing. The shank portion of the nut is longer than the thickness of the wall portion of the housing. A fastener is engaged with the substrate and is operatively associated with the fastening nut for tightening the nut against the substrate, leaving the connector housing with floating movement relative to the substrate.
