Abstract
A connecting device and an assembly of the connecting device and a mating device are provided. The connecting device includes an insulating main body, a plurality of terminals, a magnet set, an inner housing, a crown leaf spring, an outer housing, and a wave spring. The plurality of terminals are disposed on the insulating main body, the magnet set is disposed on the insulating main body, and the inner housing is sleeved around the insulating main body. The wave spring and the crown leaf spring are each disposed between the inner housing and the outer housing, and abut the inner housing, so that the insulating main body, the plurality of terminals, the magnet set, and the inner housing are arranged in a floating state.
Claims16
A connecting device, comprising:
- an insulating main body;
- a plurality of terminals disposed on the insulating main body;
- a magnet set disposed on the insulating main body;
- an inner housing having an inner housing main body, the inner housing main body being sleeved around the insulating main body;
- a crown leaf spring disposed on the inner housing, the crown leaf spring having a ring body and a plurality of elastic parts, the plurality of elastic parts being disposed on the ring body at intervals;
- an outer housing sleeved around the inner housing, the plurality of elastic parts of the crown leaf spring abutting the outer housing;
- and
- a wave spring disposed between the inner housing and the outer housing, such that the insulating main body, the plurality of terminals, the magnet set, and the inner housing are held on the outer housing by the crown leaf spring and the wave spring to form a floating member.
