A method of manufacturing a floating connector and floating connector made by this method

摘要

A floating connector (10) has a first connecting portion (16) and a second connecting portion (18), which are pivotable relative to each other. In the manufacture of the connector (10), a receiving step is carried out in which the flange portion (46) of the first connecting portion (16), the shield portion (60) of the second connecting portion (18), a ring (28) and a plate (30) be received in a housing (20). In addition, the following steps are performed: a bending step in which one end of the housing (20) is bent inward to cover the plate (30); and a gap adjusting step of pressing the plate (30) toward the ring (28) to adjust the gap (70) between the ring (28) and the plate (30).
