Description

High-power board-to-board floating connector

This creation is a technical field of connectors, in particular, a high-power board-to-board floating connector that can be floatingly connected.

Traditionally, when the male and female heads are connected, precise positioning is required to successfully electrically connect the referendum and the female seat.

However, in an installation environment with limited space, such as a car body. Due to the limited installation space of the car body, the installer cannot easily install the male head and the female seat, resulting in the installer may damage the male head or the female seat, because either the male head and the female seat are preset It is not easy to replace in the car body, so when the male or female seats installed in the car body are damaged and replaced, it will cause a very troublesome handling situation. In addition, when the male and female connectors are connected in a high-power environment, a large amount of waste heat will be generated. If the waste heat cannot be eliminated in real time, the waste heat will accumulate in the male and female heads, which may cause the male and female heads. Damage, or even a short circuit of the wire, which is an environment with extremely high safety requirements, such as a car environment, which obviously has safety problems.
