Floating connectors are electromechanical PCB-to-PCB connectors. Their spring-like terminals incorporate a self-alignment mechanism which enables them to correct a range of misalignments when PCBs are assembled, reducing placement errors in pick-and-place machines. Ideal for automated assembly and industrial control solutions, floating connectors decrease the stress generated by vibrations on floating board-to-board connectors.

Hitaltech floating board-to-board connectors integrate a power terminal (power supply: 3A) and a signal terminal (signal transmission: 0.5A), which saves a remarkable amount of volume in the PCB. Besides allowing a blind mating assembly through a floating blind mate connector, the 10.5° flip-out prevents any interference at the assembly points.

The wide floating range of Hitaltech floating connectors enables them to better absorb alignment errors, making them an essential addition to the PCB assembly of rigid connectors, guaranteeing a rapid and precise automated substrate assembly that protects the efficiency and cost-efficiency of the automated PCB assemblage.
