Abstract: A connector assembly includes a housing, a mating array, and a self-alignment subassembly. The housing is joined to a first circuit board and includes a header portion that moves in a mating direction toward a second circuit board. The mating array is joined to the header portion and includes a terminal. The mating array is moveable in the mating direction to couple the terminal with a mating terminal of the second circuit board. The self-alignment subassembly is disposed between the header portion and the mating array. The self-alignment subassembly applies a floating force on the mating array that permits alignment of the terminal of the mating array with the mating terminal while the mating array is moved in directions oriented approximately perpendicular to the mating direction. The self-alignment subassembly also applies a loading force on the mating array in the mating direction that couples the terminal of the mating array with the mating terminal.

Abstract: A connector configured to communicatively couple different components. The connector includes a base frame that extends along a longitudinal axis between a pair of frame ends and moveable first and second mating arrays comprising respective mating surfaces having terminals arranged thereon. The connector also includes a coupling mechanism supported by the base frame. The coupling mechanism holds the first and second mating arrays and moves the first and second mating arrays between retracted and engaged positions. The first and second mating arrays are spaced apart from a select component when in the corresponding retracted position. The first and second mating arrays are communicatively coupled to the select component when in the corresponding engaged position. The coupling mechanism initiates movement of the first mating array from the retracted position toward the engaged position while the second mating array remains stationary with respect to the base frame.

Abstract: A connector assembly includes a housing, a connector interface, and an actuator. The housing extends from a front end to a back end and includes an elongated channel extending through the housing along an actuation axis disposed between the front and back ends. The connector interface is joined with the front end of the housing and is configured to be electrically joined with a circuit board when the connector interface is moved away from the front end and mates with the circuit board. The actuator is disposed within the channel of the housing and includes a ramp angled toward the front end of the housing. The connector interface mates with the circuit board by moving the actuator along the actuation axis to engage the ramp with the connector interface and move the connector interface toward the circuit board.

Abstract: A connector assembly includes a housing, a connector interface body, an elongated shaft, and a cam. The housing has an opening extending into the front face and an elongated channel oriented along the longitudinal axis. The cam is within the opening of the housing and includes a passageway through which a shaft of the housing extends. Rotation of the shaft rotates the cam to engage and drive the connector interface body away from the housing. The cam includes a collar protruding from the cam and extending along a periphery of the passageway. The collar has a clearance dimension along a first direction that is smaller than a gap between the retention features of the housing and an interference dimension along a transverse direction that is larger than the gap. The cam is retained in the housing when the collar engages retention features of the housing across the interference dimension.

Abstract: A connector assembly including a connector that has a mating surface with an array of connector terminals thereon. The mating surface interfaces with a side surface of a daughter card assembly when the daughter card assembly is moved to an engaged position. The array of connector terminals are configured to engage an array of card terminals of the daughter card assembly. The connector assembly also includes a guide assembly that has a guide channel and a cam member that slidably engages the guide channel to direct the daughter card assembly to an offset position. In the offset position, the side and mating surfaces form a non-orthogonal angle with respect to each other. The guide channel is configured to permit the daughter card assembly to be rotated about an axis of rotation so that the daughter card assembly moves from the offset position to the engaged position.

Abstract: An electrical connector for electrically coupling an electronic module and an electrical component. The connector includes a connector body that has first and second mating surfaces. The connector body includes interconnects that extend through the connector body between the first and second mating surfaces for electrically coupling the module and the component. The connector body has a hole extending therethrough along a central axis. The hole is configured to receive a guide pin from one of the module and the component. The connector also includes surface mount projections that are coupled to the connector body and extend toward the central axis of the hole. The projections engage and flex against the guide pin when the guide pin is inserted into the hole. The projections form an interference fit with the guide pin to hold the connector body in a mounted position.
