ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly has a retainer that includes a tubular member with a receptacle end, a bushing and a conductor end. The conductor end is inserted through a clearance hole in a plate such as a printed circuit card until the bushing rests in the clearance hole. A connector is placed within the tubular member and held in place by an end cap. The end cap retains the connector in place. Radial float is provided by making the clearance hole through which the bushing is placed larger than the diameter of the bushing. The tubular member is prevented from falling through the clearance hole by retaining protrusions that extend radially outward from the tubular member. Axial float is provided through the use of a bias means such as a foam pad located in the end cap which provides a positive bias to the connector.
