BLINDMATE CONNECTOR SYSTEM
Applied Technology
Blindmate connectors are often the solution whenmating modular components in rack-and-panel,
module-to-module or module-to-motherboard applications. Identifying the appropriate connector forthe job is as crucial as pinpointing mounting features such as:• Fixed and float tolerances, connector-to-connector• Float mount spring loading and mating forces• Density of connectors in multi-connector arrays• Panel deflection
Blindmate connectors are ideally suited for OEMs
who need modularity to integrate subsystems andcomponents such as power amplifiers, transceivers
and combiners into common racks in wireless/broadcast and communications systems. Blindmate
connectors are also commonly found in satellites,radar and sensor equipment, avionics, missile systems, military electronics, electronic countermeasure systems, navigation and air traffic control, as
well automated test equipment.

Fixed-Mount Blindmate

To adapt to this wide assortment of applications, SV
Microwave blindmate connectors are configured invarious ways:• Fixed, floating, high-power and hermetic versions• Flexible and semi-rigid cable connectors• Low-profile styles• Stripline and microstrip launchers• Hermetic launchers• Between-series adapters• Terminations
Our blindmates also offer efficiencies in the areas ofhigher package densities, effective real estate andlower applied cost. They connect and disconnect
quickly and offer slide-on mating without sacrificing
superior microwave performance. Our uniquespring-loading mechanism allows for both axial andradial misalignment.

BLINDMATE CONNECTOR SYSTEM
Module-Module and Module-Motherboard Misalignment Tolerances: Fixed Mount
When using fixed mount blindmate connectors, axial
and radial float tolerances of the interface accommodate misalignment.

Fixed mount blindmate connectors also tolerate a certain degree of radial misalignment without electrical ormechanical performance degradation.

Rack-and-Panel and Module-Motherboard Misalignment Tolerances: Float Mount
Blindmate float mount jack connectors are ideal for
applications, such as multiple mate rack-and-panel,requiring higher axial and radial misalignment tolerances. The external float device provides connection
protection beyond the normal blindmate interface
misalignment tolerance

Axial Misalignment
Assuming a 0.010-inch min. preload, the float mountdesign accommodates up to a .050-inch longitudinal misalignment (mounting surface to mounting
surface). If semi-rigid cable is needed, a service loop
should be used to fully enable the connector’s floatfeatures.

Radial Misalignment
Our floating connectors accommodate ±.020 radial
misalignment with a mounting hole centerline
dimensioned from a predesignated datum of+.006 Dia. . The radial tolerance accommodates
mating package misalignment and mounting holetolerance.

BLINDMATE CONNECTOR SYSTEM
Spring Load Forces
A spring mechanism separates the blindmate connector interface from the flange housing. The floating action that results provides the misalignment
tolerance and maintains a solid mating connection.
Bear in mind that the spring forces are communicated to the mounting panel; in an extreme, mismate situation, the force of several connectors,
without sufficient reinforcement, can cause panels
to bow. Illustrated below are the forces commonly
exerted upon a mated connector pair in an extreme
scenario.

Note: Dimensions are in decimal inches.

BLINDMATE CONNECTOR SYSTEM
Deflection Calculation
Interface mating forces and, in the case of float
mount connectors, spring preload forces must be
considered when mounting several blindmate connectors on a panel. Taking these forces into accountin the design stage will prevent distortion (deflection) of the panel and, through proper mating,insure optimum performance. One technique used
to estimate the amount of potential distortion is toview the panel as a beam under deflection. These
examples illustrate this technique using 6 BMA float
mount connectors on an aluminum and a stainlesssteel panel.
