Abstract:
A connector block comprised of a plurality of spring-embedded blind mate connector assemblies. Each of the spring-embedded blind mate connector assemblies can be comprised of a first connector extending in a first direction and a second connector extending in a second direction opposite the first direction, where the first connector and the second connector can have a common axis and can be operatively coupled to pass a signal between opposite ends of the spring-embedded blind mate connector assembly. The first connector can include a captivator, a connection extension, and a spring between the captivator and the second connector, where the spring can abut the captivator and have an outer diameter no greater than an outer diameter of the captivator.
