Figure 60 as well as Figure 61 (As shown).

[0131] After the electrical connector 22 and the mounting block 21 are assembled to form the connector module 2, the connector module 2 is then assembled to the bracket assembly 1.

In the embodiment illustrated in the present invention, the width of the mounting groove 10 along the first direction A1-A1 is greater than the width of the connector module 2 after removing the first mounting protrusion 2111b and the second mounting protrusion 2112b. Therefore, the connector module 2 can move relative to the bracket assembly 1 in the mounting groove 10 along the first direction A1-A1 to adjust its position. Furthermore, the length of the first mounting hole 1323 along the second direction A2-A2 is greater than the dimension of the first mounting protrusion 2111b along the second direction A2-A2, and the length of the second mounting hole 1333 along the second direction A2-A2 is greater than the dimension of the second mounting protrusion 2112b along the second direction A2-A2. Therefore, the first mounting protrusion 2111b and the second mounting protrusion 2112b can move along the second direction A2-A2 in the first mounting hole 1323 and the second mounting hole 1333, respectively, to adjust their positions. In other words, the connector module 2 can move along the second direction A2-A2 relative to the bracket assembly 1 to adjust its position. The mounting base 212 and the two electrical connectors 22 can float along the third direction A3-A3 relative to the mounting base 211 under the action of the elastic element 215, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the fitting position. With this configuration, when the connector module 2 is assembled to the bracket assembly 1, the connector module 2 can be adjusted along the first direction A1-A1 (e.g., the X direction) and the second direction A2-A2 (e.g., the Y direction), and the electrical connector 22 can also be adjusted along the third direction A3-A3 (e.g., the Z direction), thereby improving the compatibility of the electrical connector 22 when it mates with the mating connector.
