Abstract:
A float-type connecting module and a float-type docking device having the module. The float-type docking device includes a float-type connecting module and a pluggable device including at least one dock connector. The float-type connecting module includes a position limiting structure, at least one flexible circuit board and at least one connector. The position limiting structure is provided at the hard circuit board. The connector is for electrically connecting to the dock connector, is electrically connected to the hard circuit board through the flexible circuit board, and floats in the position limiting structure. Thus, the issues of precise alignment required between a slot of a housing and a port of the connector and precise alignment respectively required between connectors and dock connectors are resolved.

Claim (Index 14):
A float-type connecting module, comprising:\n a position limiting structure, provided at a hard circuit board; at least one flexible circuit board; at least one connector, electrically connected to the hard circuit board through the at least one flexible circuit board, being floating in the position limiting structure; and at least one stiffening element, the connector floating in the position limiting structure through the stiffening element; wherein the connector, the flexible circuit board and the stiffening element are plural in quantity, the flexible circuit boards are electrically connected between the connectors and the hard circuit board, respectively, and the connectors float in the position limiting structure through the stiffening elements, respectively; wherein one end of each flexible circuit board is attached to each stiffening element and is electrically connected to each connector, and one other end of each flexible circuit board is electrically connected to the hard circuit board; wherein one end of each flexible circuit board is provided with a first notch, each stiffening element is provided with a second notch, each first notch and each second notch mutually correspond and jointly form a notch portion, and each connector is accommodated in each notch portion.
