Abstract
Systems and methods for connecting a circuit board, such as a circuit board of a fan tray, with a chassis are described herein. Systems and methods for floating, aligning, centering, grounding and blind-mating a connector set are also described herein.
Claims23
A system comprising:
- a chassis having a first connector;
- a field replaceable unit insertable into the chassis;
- an interface coupled with the field replaceable unit by a set of one or more springs;
- and
- a second connector coupled with the interface, the first connector coupleable with the second connector, the second connector being vertically and horizontally resiliently deflectable relative to the first connector by the set of springs.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- a support;
- an interface including a printed circuit board;
- a first connector coupled with the interface to electrically couple the printed circuit board with a second connector;
- a horizontal spring to couple the interface with the support and provide horizontal resilience to the first connector;
- and
- a vertical spring to couple the interface with the support and provide vertical resilience to the first connector.
