The present invention provides a connecting assembly including a first member and a second member, the first member having at least one rectangular pierced structure, a cantilever snap extending along the Y direction from a bottom edge of the rectangular pierced structure, and a limiting rib extending along the X direction from the lateral edge of the rectangular pierced structure; the second member having a snap structure capable of cooperating in snap-fit with the cantilever snap in the Y direction, and a plurality of reinforcement ribs arranged above the snap structure and extending along the Z direction; wherein, the two most lateral reinforcement ribs among all reinforcement ribs of the second member are arranged at the inner side of the limiting ribs of the first member and spaced apart in parallel with the limiting rib with a first gap L1 in the X direction. According to the present invention, the limiting ribs of the first member limit the position of the reinforcement ribs of the second member so as to restrict the expansion or contraction of the second member in its longitudinal direction when heated or cooled, thereby the controlling of the matching of the connecting assembly is achieved.
