Abstract

A shielded floating panel mounted electrical connector includes a dielectric housing having a front mating end and a rear terminating end. The front mating end is designed for mating with a complementary mating connector in a mating direction. A metal shell is mounted about at least the rear terminating end of the dielectric housing. The shell mounts the electrical connector in an opening in and rigidly fixed to a panel. The housing is complementarily engaged within the shell to provide for relative floating movement therebetween in a direction transversely of the mating direction.
