A connecting mechanism for a connector, which can align the connector in a rotating direction and smoothly align the connector for fitting with the mating connector, has a bracket, a holder, a connector and a plate. The bracket has a receiving body receiving the holder, and receives the holder in a receiving hole arranged in the receiving body. The receiving hole has an abut rib projecting from an inner surface in a radial direction. The holder receives the connectorand has an elastically deformable first positioning arm. When the holder is received in the receiving hole and fixed in the receiving body with the plate, the abut rib abuts on the first positioning arm, and the holder is aligned in a rotating direction about the receiving body.
