Abstract:
A float connector for interconnecting two printed circuit boards that includes a contact assembly including a plurality of contacts and a holder therefor such that opposite ends thereof are exposed outside of the holder. The holder supports each contact in a clearance fit inside thereof, thereby allowing each contact to radially tilt to compensate for radial misalignment between the boards. A first guide member has a plurality of first guide features corresponding to the ends of the contacts, respectively, for aligning the contact ends for electrical connection with one board. A second guide member has a plurality of second guide features corresponding to the ends of the contacts, respectively, for aligning the contact ends for electrical connection with the other board. The contact assembly is axially moveable between the guide members along an axis generally parallel to longitudinal axes of the contacts to compensate for axial misalignment between the boards.

Claim (Index 16):
A float connector for interconnecting first and second printed circuit boards, comprising:\n a contact assembly including a plurality of contacts and a holder configured to axially support the contacts such that opposite first and second ends of each contact are exposed outside of the holder; a first guide member separable from the contact assembly and supported by the first printed circuit board, the first guide member having a plurality of first guide features corresponding to each of the first ends of the contacts, respectively, the first guide features being configured to aligned the first ends of the contacts for electrical connection with the first printed circuit board; and a second guide member separable from the contact assembly and supported by the second printed circuit board, the second guide member having a plurality of second guide features corresponding to each of the second ends of the contacts, respectively, the second guide features being configured to aligned the second ends of the contacts for electrical connection with the second printed circuit board; means for axial float of the contact assembly and each of the first and second guide members with respect to one another to compensate for axial misalignment between the first and second printed circuit boards; and means for radial float of the contact assembly between the first and second guide members to compensate for radial misalignment between the first and second printed circuit boards.
