Abstract:
A floating connector device allows movement of a movable-side housing in board-parallel and pushing directions, allows floating in a pushing/removal direction when mated with a mating connector, and has high contact reliability. A fixed housing ( 11 ) includes a long through-hole and a pair of board-facing plates. A movable housing ( 12 ) includes an outer portion projecting from the long through-hole and a retaining projection overlapping the board-facing plates in plan view. A contact group includes a tail for board mounting, a fixing portion supported by the fixed housing ( 11 ), a U-shaped portion supported by a contact support groove in the outer portion, and an elastic deformation portion, in a free state unsupported by either groove, that by its own elasticity allows the movable housing ( 12 ) to sink in a board direction, and in a sunken state, allows elastic movement in a longitudinal direction, a direction orthogonal thereto, and a tilting direction.

Claim (Index 1):
A floating connector device comprising a fixed housing for fixing to a board, a movable housing movable with respect to said fixed housing, and a contact group with one end for fixing in a row to said board and another end for fixing in a row to said movable housing in a longitudinal direction of said movable housing; wherein\n said fixed housing comprises a long through-hole and a pair of board-facing plates, positioned at longitudinal ends of said long through-hole, facing said board; said movable housing comprises an outer portion projecting from said long through-hole of said fixed housing and a retaining projection positioned farther on the board side than said board-facing plates and overlapping said board-facing plates in plan view; said contact group comprises a tail for mounting on a board, a fixing portion supported by a storage fixing groove of said fixed housing, a U-shaped portion supported by a contact support groove formed in said outer portion of said movable housing, and an elastic deformation portion, connecting said fixing portion and said U-shaped portion, in a free state unsupported by either groove; and said elastic deformation portion, by elasticity thereof in said free state, separates said movable housing from said board, allows said movable housing to sink in a direction of the board, and in a sunken state, allows elastic movement in said longitudinal direction of said movable housing, a direction orthogonal to said longitudinal direction, and a tilting direction.
