  • Patent number: 5259779
    Abstract: Disclosed is an improved two part floating electric connector which prevents damage to a solder joint and deformation to terminals which are caused in coupling and decoupling conventional floating type connector parts when misalignment is present. The two part floating electric connector includes a housing body molded integrally with a collar and attached together by frangible bridging portions. A pair of fitting nails are fixed to the opposite ends of the outer stationary collar so that these nails may prevent the inner floating housing from rising above the outer stationary housing while allowing horizontal floating.
