ABSTRACT:
A female connector (F) is provided with an outer housing (10) in the form of a bottomed tube, a spring member (50) to be accommodated in the outer housing (10), and an inner housing (30) to be accommodated in the outer housing (10) to sandwich the spring member (50) between the inner housing (30) and a back wall (12) of the outer housing (10) and adapted to hold female terminal fittings (80). The inner housing (30) is pushed by a male connector (M) to move toward the back wall (12) and is floating-supported between the back wall (12) and the male connector (M) via the spring member (50) to move in connecting directions when the male connector (M) is fitted into the outer housing (10) to be locked therein. Upon an occurrence of vibration, the inner housing (30) is capable of moving while following movements of the outer housing (10).
