Floating type electric connector.

摘要

A floating type electric connector adapted to be mounted on a circuit board comprising a housing having an integrally formed movable housing portion (9), a stationary housing portion (10), and a resilient joint portion connecting the four corners of the stationary housing portion (10) to the corresponding four corners of the movable housing portion (9) and a plurality of female terminals (5) attached to each housing. Each female terminal (5) comprises a contact section (22) and a base section (19) joined together by an intermediate resilient section (20). The contact section of the female terminal is attached to the movable housing portion (9) while the base section is attached to the stationary housing portion (10), thereby permitting the floating of the movable housing portion (9) with respect to the stationary housing portion (10).
