Abstract
An apparatus includes a port body for holding a first device and a retainer for retaining the port body. The port body includes a base, a stem extending from the base, and one or more first anti-rotation members disposed at the base. The retainer includes first and second retaining members, with the base of the port body disclosed in between. A through-hole larger than the stem of the port body is formed at the first retaining member, allowing the stem to pass through and to move relative to the first retaining member. One or more second anti-rotation members are disposed at the first or second retaining member and coupled with the one or more first anti-rotation members. The retainer restricts the port body from rotating but allows it to move translationally relative to the retainer to accommodate axial misalignment when connecting the first device with a second device.
