ABSTRACT:
A floating connector is disclosed which can avoid a danger that the pin bodies will contact the inner circumferential surfaces of the through-holes formed in the movable housing when the movable housing moves in the vertical direction with respect to the fixed housing. In the floating connector, the fixed housing comprises a housing main body that fastens the terminal sections of the contacts in place and tubular bosses that protrude from the housing main body. The second through-holes through which the pin bodies are inserted into are formed so as to pass through both the housing main body and bosses, and the inner diameter of the first through-holes in the movable housing through which the pin bodies 40 are inserted allows the bosses to be inserted and also allows the movable housing to move upward and downward with respect to the fixed housing, so that the bosses are inserted into the first through-holes.
