Patent ID: 8333603

Claim:
An electrical connection system comprising: an arrangement defining a plurality of receptacles and including a spring having a plurality of engagement portions in communication with the plurality of receptacles; a plurality of first connector housings respectively including at least one electrical contact, said plurality of first connector housings being receivably coupled in the plurality of receptacles; and a plurality of second connector housings including at least one mating electrical contact, said plurality of second connector housings being matable to the plurality of coupled first connector housings along mating axes and the at least one mating electrical contact being matable to the at least on electrical contact of the plurality of coupled first connector housings also along said mating axes, wherein the plurality of receptacles are configured for floatable movement of the plurality of coupled first connector housings therein, said floatable movement being in at least an axial direction in relation to the plurality of receptacles so that axial positional mating tolerance variation of each second connector housing in the plurality of second connector housings in relation to each coupled first connector housing in the plurality of coupled first connector housings that manifests at each receptacle in the plurality of receptacles is assimilated by each respective spring engagement portion in the plurality of engagement portions of the arrangement when the plurality of second connector housings mate to the plurality of coupled first connector housings and said at least one mating electrical contact associated with plurality of second connector housings mate with said at least one electrical contact associated with the plurality of coupled first connector housings.
