Abstract
According to the present invention, an electrical plug connector is mountable onto a panel member for matable connection with an electrical receptacle connector mounted on another panel member when the panel members are moved relative to one another. The plug connector includes a mounting member for mounting to the panel member and it has a hole therein. A plug body member includes a contact section, a terminating section and an intermediate section; the intermediate section is disposed in the hole, and the hole has a diameter larger than the intermediate section. A stop member extends outwardly from the intermediate section, and a spring member is disposed between the mounting member and the body member to normally maintain the stop member against the mounting member and to floatingly mount the body member to the mounting member so that the body member can move axially, radially and on a bias when the contact section matably engages a complementary contact section of the receptacle connector during movement of the panel members relative to one another.
