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 1):
A float-type connecting module, comprising:\n a position limiting structure, provided at and fixed onto a hard circuit board; at least one flexible circuit board; and 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, wherein the at least one connector has three degrees of freedom in the position limiting structure; wherein the connectors are plural in quantity, and the at least one flexible circuit board is electrically connected between the plurality of connectors and the hard circuit board; wherein the position limiting structure comprises a sliding groove, and the plurality of connectors slidably move in the sliding groove along both a side-by-side direction and an up-and-down direction substantially perpendicular to the side-by-side direction.
