Abstract
The present invention provides a high-power board-to-board floating connector that comprises a male header and a female socket. The male head comprises a first electrode, a first housing and a first insertion element. The female socket comprises a second electrode, a second housing, a floating member, and a second insertion element. The second housing combines with the floating member to form a connection part which can be slightly moved in one or more directions, so that the male head can be connected to the female socket in a permissible range, and then the first electrode is electrically connected to the second electrode.

A high-power board-to-board floating connector for connecting a first board and a second board, the high-power board-to-board floating connector comprising:
- a male header comprising:
- a first electrode having a first connecting end connecting to the first board and a first free end;
- a first housing comprising:
- a first body having a first space inside, wherein the first space comprises a first jack for accommodating the first electrode, and the first free end of the first electrode is exposed in the first space;
- a first connection part extending from the first body;
- and
- a first binding part disposed on two wings of the first body;
- and
- a first insertion element combining with the first binding part for fixing the first board by the first housing;
- a female socket comprising:
- a second electrode having a second connecting end connecting to the second board and a second free end;
- a second housing comprising:
- a second body having a second space inside, wherein the second space comprises a second jack for accommodating the second electrode, and the second free end of the second electrode is exposed in the second space;
- and
- a second binding part disposed on two wings of the second body and protruding from the second body to form C-shaped opening;
- a floating member for connecting the first connection part to let the first electrode electrically connect the second electrode, wherein the floating member comprises:
- a third body having a third space inside, wherein the third space comprises a third jack disposed corresponding to the second jack to accommodate the second free end of the second electrode;
- and
- a third binding part disposed on two wings of the third body and protruding from the third body to combine with the C-shaped opening;
- and
- a second insertion element combining with the second binding part for fixing the second board by the second housing and limiting the third binding part in the C-shaped opening.
