The rear plate 15 is provided with a plurality of positioning ports 151.

The fastening component 30 includes a mounting plate 31 parallel to the substrate 11 , a plurality of locking pieces 33 extending perpendicularly from the mounting plate 31 , and a plurality of vertically extending from one side of the mounting plate 31 . Positioning sheet 35. The latching piece 33 is provided with a latching opening 331 corresponding to the latching protrusion 193. Each positioning piece 35 includes a positioning body 351 and two abutting ends 353 extending from opposite sides of the positioning body 351. The thickness of the positioning body 351 on a plane perpendicular to the rear plate 15 is greater than the thickness of the abutting end 353 on the plane. The positioning body 351 is configured to be received in the positioning port 151 such that the two corresponding abutting ends 353 are in contact with the two sides of the positioning opening 151.

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 , the connector 70 is placed in the corresponding receiving space 113 of the receiving member 10 , and the locking piece 33 and the positioning piece 35 of the locking member 30 are respectively respectively The latching portion 19 of the accommodating member 10 is aligned with the locating opening 151, and the latching member 30 is moved toward the accommodating member 10. The latching tab 33 of the latching member 30 abuts the latching portion 19 The bottom surface 1911 of the recessed portion 191, when the locking piece 33 is in contact with the inclined surface 1931, the snap tab 33 is elastically deformed, and the latching member 30 is pushed to move to the latching opening 331 and the The latching surface 1935 corresponds to the elastic return of the latching piece 33 to engage the latching opening 331 with the latching projection 193. At this time, the positioning body 351 of the positioning piece 35 is located in the positioning opening 151, and the abutting end 353 of the positioning piece 35 abuts against both sides of the positioning opening 151. The connector 70 is sandwiched between the mounting board 31 and the substrate 11 .
