Abstract
A floating connector device allows movement of a movable-side housing in board-parallel and pushing directions, allows floating in a pushing/removal direction when mated with a mating connector, and has high contact reliability. A fixed housing () includes a long through-hole and a pair of board-facing plates. A movable housing () includes an outer portion projecting from the long through-hole and a retaining projection overlapping the board-facing plates in plan view. A contact group includes a tail for board mounting, a fixing portion supported by the fixed housing (), a U-shaped portion supported by a contact support groove in the outer portion, and an elastic deformation portion, in a free state unsupported by either groove, that by its own elasticity allows the movable housing () to sink in a board direction, and in a sunken state, allows elastic movement in a longitudinal direction, a direction orthogonal thereto, and a tilting direction.
