Abstract

A floating multi-connector blind mating system includes a multi-connector chassis coupled to a pair of first connectors that extend from the multi-connector chassis. A connector float subsystem in the multi-connector chassis is coupled to the pair of first connectors and allows each of the first connectors to move within a plane. A connector securing element on the multi-connector chassis is coupled to the pair of first connectors and resists movement of each of the pair of first connectors perpendicular to the plane. A respective blind-mate element is connected to each of a pair of second connectors, and the pair of first connectors are guided by the respective blind mate elements into engagement with the pair of second connectors when the multi-connector chassis is moved towards the pair of second connectors.
