Abstract
A connector assembly includes a connector and a fixing plate. The connector includes a block, a connector body formed on a front surface of the block, a protrusion extending from a top of the block. The fixing plate defines an opening through which the connector body extends, and a notch communicating with the opening for the protrusion extending through. A resilient piece slantingly extends toward a first end of the opening from a second end of the opening opposite to the first end. The connector pushes the resilient piece toward the fixing plate, and then the connector is slid along the opening toward the first end of the opening, to allow the protrusion to engage with a front surface of the fixing plate. The resilient piece is restored and abuts an end wall of the block.
