ABSTRACT:
In a floating connector (101) including a fitting portion (20) and a fixed portion (40), a supporting mechanism (1) is connected to the fitting portion and the fixed portion to support the fitting portion to the fixed portion so that the fitting portion may float in a fitting direction (26) of a mating connector (102). A floating control mechanism (22, 25) is arranged between the fitting portion and the fixed portion. When the mating connector is not fitted to the floating connector, the floating control mechanism locks or inhibits the floating of the fitting portion. However, the floating control mechanism enables the floating of the fitting portion in response to a fitting operation of the mating connector to the floating connecter. Use of the mating connector causes motion of a slide plate (22) and rotation of a stopper (25) about an axis (25a,13) and results in release of the fitting portion (20) to enable it to float in a selected direction. A metal ground plate (6) may be attached to the contact assembly and selected contacts (5) folded back to engage the ground plate (FIG.5B).
