ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A floating panel mount for an electrical connec- tor comprises opposes pairs of multiple cantilevered latch structures. Each latch structure comprises a lower arm cantilevered from a mounting flange. An upper arm is cantilevered from the end of the lower arm remote from the mounting flange, and is angularly aligned thereto. A locking arm is cantilevered from the end of the upper arm remote from the lower arm such that the lower arm and the locking arm extend angularly from opposed ends of the upper arm and from opposite sides thereof. The maximum cross-sectional dimension defined by the upper and locking arms exceeds the maximum cross-sectional dimension of a mounting aperture in a panel. However, the cross-sectional dimensions defined by the upper arms is substantially less than the cross-sectional dimensions of the mounting aperture. The arms can be deflected to enable the latch structures to pass through the mounting aperture. Thereafter, the latch structures will return to their unbiased undeflected condition such that the panel is engaged intermediate the locking arms and the mounting flange. However, the smaller cross-sectional dimensions of the upper arms enables float relative to the panel.
