Abstract
Provided is a connection device with a floating connector, which includes a casing, a floating connector and a connecting element. The casing has an opening. The floating connector is disposed at the opening. Two sides of the floating connector are connected to the casing. The connecting element is disposed in the casing and positioned beside the opening. The floating connector includes a body, a first port and a guiding element. The connecting element includes a second port and a blocking element. The guiding element operates in conjunction with the blocking element of the connecting element. Hence, when the floating connector is not in use, the non-power-on first port of the floating connector is exposed from the casing. Therefore, even if the connection device is operating in a humid environment, it will not be susceptible to short circuit or electrolysis.
