[0045] Please refer to Figures 1 through 7. The improved floating connector 1 of this invention includes: a male connector 10, a female connector 20, at least one or more resilient terminals 21, and at least one or more fixing portions 22. The male connector 10 is divided into a main body 101 and an insertion portion 102. The main body 101 has one or more insertion terminals 11 in the middle and fixing terminals 12 on both sides. The insertion portion 102 is smaller than the main body 101 and has at least one fixing terminal 12 on each side. The female connector 20 is divided into a receiving portion 201 and a peripheral portion 202. The receiving portion 201 is a rectangular body with a guide groove 203 having a beveled surface, a recessed portion 204 in the middle, and at least one elastic terminal groove A205 on its long side. The peripheral portion 202 has a rectangular through hole 206 in the middle, at least one elastic terminal groove B207 on its long side, and at least one fixing groove 208 on each of its short sides. In addition, the receiving portion 202 has a fixed protrusion 102a. The receiving portion 201 is placed inside the through hole 206 of the peripheral portion 202, and the elastic terminal slots A205 of the receiving portion 201 and B207 of the peripheral portion 202 are opposite in position and have the same number; one end of the elastic terminal 21 is a conductive end 211, the other end is a grounding end 212, and it has one or more bending sections 213, and the elastic terminal has at least one or more contact sections 214; wherein, the elastic terminal 21 is placed in the female connector 20 and placed in the elastic portion 201. In the terminal slot A205 and the elastic terminal slot B207 of the peripheral portion 202, the conductive end 211 of the elastic terminal 21 is placed in the recess 204 of the receiving portion 201, the grounding end 212 protrudes outside the peripheral portion 202, and the male connector 10 is inserted into the female connector 20 from above, and the insertion terminal 11 of the male connector 10 is combined with the contact section 214 of the elastic terminal 21 to form an electrical connection, and the fixing portion 22 is placed in the fixing slot 208 of the female connector 20.

[0046] Continuing from the above, the size of the receiving portion of the female connector is smaller than the size of the through hole on the outer periphery of the female connector, and a retaining block 201a is provided below the receiving portion; a retaining groove 202a is provided below the outer periphery of the female connector; and the guide grooves of the female connector are located on the outer side of the X-axis and Y-axis directions of the female connector and there are multiple of them; the outer shape of the elastic terminal is: an inverted U-shape connected to a U-shape and then connected to an inverted U-shape; the fixing part is a one-piece structure.

[0047] In actual use, the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 will mate through the insertion terminal 10 of the male connector 1 and the elastic terminal 3 inside the female connector 2. The receiving part of the female connector can move in the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis directions within the outer periphery due to the shape and elasticity of the elastic terminal 3, so as to achieve a floating effect. Furthermore, due to the cooperation between the locking block of the receiving part and the locking groove of the outer periphery, the receiving part and the outer periphery can be prevented from separating.

[0048] In summary, since the insertion terminal 10 remains electrically connected while the male connector 1 is suspended and moving in the receiving part, a large misalignment can be tolerated during assembly or use without causing a short circuit. Furthermore, the guide grooves 201 on the female connector 2 are located on the X and Y axes, allowing for smooth mating even when misalignment is tolerated during assembly. The male connector is fixed to the female connector by the fixing protrusions on both sides, which not only improves the stability of mating but also makes it easy to replace. This saves on processes and costs while also improving the efficiency and stability of transmission.

[0049] The above description is merely illustrative and not restrictive. Any equivalent modifications or alterations made to this work without departing from its spirit and scope should be included within the scope of this patent application.
