Abstract
Examples described herein relate to connector assembly for a connecting device. The connector assembly may include an electrical connector connectible with a corresponding receiving structure on a receiving device separate from the connecting device. Further, the connector assembly may include a connector housing enclosing the electrical connector. The connector housing may include a mounting lever engaged with a body of the connecting device to secure the connector housing with the connecting device and allow the connector housing to move relative to the body of the connecting device. Further, the connector assembly may include a biasing member disposed within the connector housing to bias the electrical connector toward the receiving structure on the receiving device.
Claims20
A connector assembly for a connecting device, comprising:
- a connector connectible with a corresponding receiving structure on a receiving device separate from the connecting device;
- a connector housing enclosing the connector, wherein the connector housing comprises a mounting lever engaged with a body of the connecting device to secure the connector housing with the connecting device and allow the connector housing to move relative to the body of the connecting device;
- and
- a biasing member to bias the connector toward the receiving structure on the receiving device.
A method for forming a connector assembly for a connecting device, comprising:
- providing a connector housing comprising a mounting lever engageable with a body of the connecting device to secure the connector housing with the connecting device and allow the connector housing to move relative to the body of the connecting device;
- disposing a biasing member in the connector housing;
- and
- disposing a connector in the connector housing, wherein the connector is connectible with a corresponding receiving structure on a receiving device separate from the connecting device, and wherein the connector and the biasing member are positioned such that a biasing force is applied by the biasing member on the connector.
