  • Floating connector
    Patent number: 6908326
    Abstract: To provide a floating connector wherein strengths against pull-out forces in the height direction are high and both housings are resistant to separation, the slide housing slides in any direction perpendicular to the height direction to reliably absorb the deviation in the position of the floating connector in relation to that of the counterpart connector without resulting in any defective contact with the counterpart contacts nor buckling of the contacts, the floating connector can be produced easily, and the floating connector has a high self-supportability through setting an appropriate rigidity of the contacts.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 4, 2004
    Date of Patent: June 21, 2005
    Assignee: J. S. T. Mfg. Co., Ltd.
