A floating connector mountable on a circuit board and mateable with a mating connector in an up-down direction, wherein: the floating connector comprises a fixed housing, a fixed shell, a terminal, a movable housing, a movable shell and a regulating portion; the fixed shell is fixed to the circuit board when the floating connector is mounted on the circuit board; the fixed shell is attached to the fixed housing, the fixed shell covers, at least in part, the fixed housing in a horizontal plane perpendicular to the up-down direction; the fixed shell is provided with a first shell contact portion; the terminal has a first held portion, a second held portion, a coupling portion, a supporting portion and a contact point; the first held portion is held by the fixed housing; the second held portion is held by the movable housing; the coupling portion is resiliently deformable; the coupling portion couples the first held portion and the second held portion with each other; the supporting portion extends from the second held portion; the supporting portion supports the contact point; the movable housing is movable at least in the horizontal plane relative to the fixed housing by resilient deformation of the coupling portion; the movable shell is attached to the movable housing; the movable shell covers, at least in part, the movable housing; the movable shell is provided with a second shell contact portion; the second shell contact portion has a resilient property; the first shell contact portion and the second shell contact portion are in contact with each other by the resilient property of the at least one of the first shell contact portion and the second shell contact portion; the first shell contact portion and the second shell contact portion are always in contact with each other within a movable range of the movable housing; and the regulating portion regulates a movement of the movable housing in the up-down direction and thereby regulates the movement of the second shell contact portion, characterized in that the movable shell covers, at least in part, the movable housing in the horizontal plane; the first shell contact portion and the second shell contact portion are in contact with each other in the up-down direction by the resilient property of the at least one of the first shell contact portion and the second shell contact portion; the regulating portion regulates a movement of the second shell contact portion away from the first shell contact portion in the up-down direction; and the regulating portion is a part of the fixed housing. the floating connector comprises a fixed housing, a fixed shell, a terminal, a movable housing, a movable shell and a regulating portion;
