Connector assembly floating mount

摘要

A system is disclosed for mounting a connecting device (36) to a substrate (32) with relative floating movement therebetween. The system includes a connector housing (46). A fastening nut (60) is captured by the housing with relative floating movement therebetween. The nut includes a shank portion (60a) extending toward the substrate through an opening (66b) in a wall portion (67) of the housing. The shank portion (60a) of the nut (60) is longer than the thickness (D) of the wall portion (67) of the housing. A fastener (62) is engaged with the substrate (32) and is operatively associated with the fastening nut (60) for tightening the nut against the substrate, leaving the connector housing (46) with floating movement relative to the substrate (32).
