摘要： Board-to-board connectors that can provide blind mating, are easily included in an electronic device, and are readily manufactured. An example can provide a self-aligning board-to-board connector that provides blind mating and that includes a first connector and a second connector. The first connector can include a first fastener fixed to a first internal housing or enclosure portion. A second fastener can be mated with the first fastener. The first connector can further include a housing, where the housing is flexibly connected to the first internal housing or enclosure portion but is constrained by the first fastener and the second fastener. This constraint can allow the first connector housing to move laterally and rotationally such that it can self-align to a second connector that is fixed to a second internal housing or enclosure portion when the first connector and second connector are mated. A flexible circuit board can connect contacts of the first connector to a board or other structure that is fixed to the first internal housing or enclosure portion. The flexible circuit board can maintain this connection as the first connector housing is moved laterally or rotationally during device assembly.

摘要： Connector receptacles and connector receptacle interfaces that can detect a connection to a corresponding connector insert, can detect liquid in the connector receptacle, and can limit damage to the connector receptacle caused by the liquid.
