Abstract
To provide a floating connector wherein strengths against pull-out forces in the height direction are high and both housings are resistant to separation, the slide housing slides in any direction perpendicular to the height direction to reliably absorb the deviation in the position of the floating connector in relation to that of the counterpart connector without resulting in any defective contact with the counterpart contacts nor buckling of the contacts, the floating connector can be produced easily, and the floating connector has a high self-supportability through setting an appropriate rigidity of the contacts. It is a floating connector wherein the connecting parts of the contacts are pressed into the base housing, the contacting parts of the contacts are pressed into the slide housing, and both housings are so related to each other by means of protruding parts protruding in the width direction and grooves into which the protruding parts are inserted that both housings can slide in any directions perpendicular to the height direction.
