Patent ID: 8289718

Claim:
A connector assembly for electrical and mechanical interconnection of first and second adjacent modules with one another, the first module comprising: at least one first electrical connector mounted therein and aligned along a connection axis between the first and second modules, and at least one alignment pin aligned along the connection axis between the first and second modules, and the second module comprising: a circuit board floatingly connected to the second module for mating with the first module, the circuit board being displaceable along at least one orthogonal axis, orthogonal to the connection axis, and the circuit board comprising at least one alignment hole aligned for engagement with the at least one alignment pin of the first module, and at least one second electrical connector aligned for engagement with the at least one first electrical connector of the first module so that, when the first and second modules are brought into mechanical connection with each other by relative movement along the connection axis, the at least one alignment pin of the first module engages with the at least one alignment hole of the second module and displaces the printed circuit board of the second module orthogonally to the connection axis for facilitating alignment and electrical connection of the at least one second electrical connector of the second module with the at least one first electrical connector of the first module.
