In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein, but rather should be construed as broadly as the present invention is capable of modification in various respects, all without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 1 to 5, the embodiment of the present application:

a female housing 100 for a floating connector, comprising:

a fixed base 10 having an insulating property, the lower surface of which is fixed to the circuit board 80, the fixed base 10 being fixedly connected to the elastic terminal 40;

a side frame 20 connected to the upper surface of the fixed base 10 and forming a movable space 60 in cooperation with the fixed base 10;

a movable base 30 having an insulating property and provided in the movable space 60;

a plurality of elastic terminals 40, each of the elastic terminals 40 being formed by bending an elongated member having conductivity, each of the elastic terminals 40 being respectively installed between the movable space 60 and the movable base 30;

and a fixed ground plate 50 disposed on the side frame 20.

The side frame 20 is connected to the upper surface of the fixed base 10, and forms a movable space 60 by matching with the fixed base 10; the movable base 30 is disposed in the movable space 60; the elastic terminals 40 are respectively installed between the movable space 60 and the movable base 30 to shield the elastic terminals 40, so as to prevent the elastic terminals 40 from being exposed, thereby causing the elastic terminals to be easily scratched, oxidized and damaged by dust.

In this embodiment, four end portions of the fixing base 10 are provided with the fastening portions 11, and the outer sides of the four end portions of the side frame 20 are provided with the groove portions 21 fastened with the fastening portions 11, that is, the fixing base 10 and the side frame 20 are fixed and directly integrally installed in a fastening manner, so that the side frame 20 can be integrally and stably installed on the fixing base 10, and meanwhile, the installation operation is more convenient and faster, and the operation efficiency is improved.

As shown in fig. 2 and 5, two sides of the fixed base 10 in the width direction are respectively provided with an opening 70 formed after the fixed base 10 and the side frame 20 are fastened, the outer walls of two sides of the movable base 30 in the width direction are respectively provided with a stopper 31, and the stoppers 31 protrude into the opening 70 and can move up and down in the opening 70. In this way, the movable base 30 can be prevented from being separated upward from the fixed base 10 and the side frame 20.

Preferably, a plurality of fixing grooves 12 are formed in the fixing base 10 corresponding to both sides of the fixing base in the longitudinal direction, and the fixing grooves 12 are used for fixing the elastic terminal 40 to the fixing base 10.
