The inner housing () is pushed by a male connector (M) to move toward the back wall () and is floating-supported between the back wall () and the male connector (M) via the spring member () to move in connecting directions when the male connector (M) is fitted into the outer housing () to be locked therein. Upon an occurrence of vibration, the inner housing () is capable of moving while following movements of the outer housing ().
