Abstract
A compliant mounting bracket for a connector is provided. The connector is physically connected to a plate. The connector extends through a connecting hole of a bracket. The bracket is for attachment to a fixture. The plate is attached to the bracket so that the plate is allowed movement with respect to the bracket. The movement, however, is limited so that the movement is within a predetermined tolerance from a nominal aligned position. A first elastic rod is placed in a position extending from a first hole in the bracket to a first hole in the plate. The first elastic rod holds the plate in the nominal aligned position with respect to the bracket and allowing movement within the predetermined tolerance. A second elastic rod also may be used.
