    摘要: Board-to-board connectors are disclosed. The board to board connectors include a plurality of external connection structures, and a plurality of receptacle contacts. Each receptacle contact may be coupled to a corresponding external connection structure. Each receptacle contact may include an opening for receiving a plug contact for a corresponding plug side board-to-board connector, and an engaging feature where at least a portion of the engaging feature extends into a portion of the opening. The opening may have a receptacle alignment feature designed to correspond with a plug alignment feature on the plug side board-to-board connector.

    摘要: Board-to-board connectors that can provide blind mating, are easily included in an electronic device, and are readily manufactured. An example can provide a self-aligning board-to-board connector that provides blind mating and that includes a first connector and a second connector. The first connector can include a first fastener fixed to a first internal housing or enclosure portion. A second fastener can be mated with the first fastener. The first connector can further include a housing, where the housing is flexibly connected to the first internal housing or enclosure portion but is constrained by the first fastener and the second fastener. This constraint can allow the first connector housing to move laterally and rotationally such that it can self-align to a second connector that is fixed to a second internal housing or enclosure portion when the first connector and second connector are mated. A flexible circuit board can connect contacts of the first connector to a board or other structure that is fixed to the first internal housing or enclosure portion. The flexible circuit board can maintain this connection as the first connector housing is moved laterally or rotationally during device assembly.

    摘要: Connectors that may be used to connect optional or daughter cards or modules to main logic boards or motherboards in electronic devices. These connectors may have a reduced effective height and may be able to support high data rates. Cards in these connectors may be secured in place in an electronic device to avoid being inadvertently dislodged. The connectors may accept a card such as a solid state drive, memory card, subscriber identification module, or other type of card. Examples may also provide cards to be inserted in the connectors and boards to support the connectors.
