Claim 0:
1. A floating connector comprising:
a center conductive pin which comprises an upper mating element and a lower mating element;
an insulating seat which surrounds the center conductive pin therein;
a mating side conductive shell which surrounds an outer periphery of the insulating seat and forms a receiving cavity positioned below the insulating seat;
a movable conductive shell, an upper end of which is movably received in the receiving cavity and extends downwardly from the receiving cavity;
an elastic element which elastically abuts against the upper end of the movable conductive shell; and
an inner conductive shell which is mounted in the receiving cavity and is used to electrically connect the mating side conductive shell and the movable conductive shell, the inner conductive shell being interposed between the elastic element and the center conductive pin;
the inner conductive shell having:
a fixing portion which snaps on one of the mating side conductive shell and the movable conductive shell; and
a movable contacting portion which slideably elastically abuts against the other of the mating side conductive shell and the movable conductive shell.
