Floating Blind Mate Connector

The floating mechanism used in the blindmate connector separates the connector line from the enclosure thus allowing the connector to pivot in the axial and radial directions.

Floating blind mate connector.

Floating range the floating function is to prevent poor contact reliability and solder crack by absorbing misalignment occurring when fixing the pcb. The connector has no key code which allows for 360 degree mating freedom and makes mismating impossible. The series also facilitates blind mating with gold plated copper alloy float contacts dw2 and dw3 floating spacers dw2 and a floating housing. A blind mate connector is differentiated from other types of connectors by the mating action that happens via a sliding or snapping action which can be accomplished without wrenches or other tools.

Blind mate and rack applications rectangular connectors may be easily fitted with float mount and guide pin technologies making them suitable for blindmate and rack and panel applications. Floating mating facilitates proper connections in the event of misalignment or blind joining.

Blind mating is made possible thanks to the connector s innovative non magnetic quick release locking mechanism with pre defined force as well as to its contact configuration design.

While an effective method of generating float this design does not protect the enclosure from the environment. Float mount and adjustable separation force connectors series 253 glenair series 253 blindmate connectors are designed to meet applicable environmental electrical and mechanical performance characteristics of d38999 series iii. The lhs lhz connector range provides a quick and easy connection disconnection and the float mounting compensates for mechanical misalignment up to 1 25mm during blind mating ensuring excellent signal integrity. While there are certainly situations in which a circular blind mate connector is the preferred solution rectangular blind mate connectors are the ideal choice for use in trays connectorized equipment racks and equipment consoles.
