ABSTRACT:
A first embodiment of a floating mount apparatus for a coaxial connector includes a coaxial connector with a central axis having a first external diameter region, a second external diameter region adjacent to the first external diameter and a third external diameter region adjacent to the second external diameter. The second external diameter region is smaller than the first external diameter region. A mount member, i.e., a receiving aperture, includes a first internal diameter region, a second internal diameter region and a third internal diameter region adapted to receive the coaxial connector, a clearance existing between the region of the first external diameter and the first internal diameter. The second internal diameter region is less than the first internal diameter region of the mount member and the third external diameter region of the coaxial connector. A spring having a near cylindrical-shape is inserted between the second internal diameter region of the mount member and the second external diameter region of the coaxial connector to bias the coaxial connector.
