ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly (100) adapted to be mounted onto a panel (8) includes a housing (1) having a number of keys (107, 108) on exterior surfaces thereof, a number of contacts (2) received in the housing, and a fixing pusher (6) attached to the housing along a first direction. The fixing pusher includes a finger operable main body (60) and a forwardly extending filling bar (61). The keys are adapted to pass through the panel along the first direction and engage with the panel after a movement of the housing relative to the panel along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The main body of the fixing pusher is directly pushed by a user to bring the filling bar into engagement with the panel, and thus, safely mounts the connector assembly onto the panel in a floating manner.
