ABSTRACT:
A floating connector comprises an insulating housing having a plurality of first and second contacts arranged in at least one row in the housing. Each of the first and second contacts has a contact member for contacting a mating contact, a leg for connecting to a first printed circuit board, and an elastic member disposed between the contact member and the leg. The elastic member has a curved shape and extends in a direction of the at least one row. A bent section is formed between the contact member and the leg. The bent section of the first contacts is shorter then the bent section of the second contacts so that the legs of the corresponding first and second contacts are arranged in a staggered configuration in the at least one row.
