Abstract
An electrical connector is provided for mounting through an aperture in a panel with floating movement between the connector and the panel. A connector housing includes a mating portion insertable from a first side of the panel, through the aperture, to a position projecting from a second side of the panel. A first projection on the housing is engageable with the first side of the panel. A spring retention cap is positioned about the mating portion on the second side of the panel and includes a second projection for engaging the second side of the panel. An extension spring has opposite ends fixed to the spring retention cap and to the housing for drawing the first projection on the housing and the second projection on the spring retention cap against the first and second sides of the panel.
