  • Blind mate connector system and method for assembling thereof
    Patent number: 11404823
    Abstract: A connector system that uses an elastomeric suspension to provide compliance for mating alignment and to provide an axial compression force of the two connector halves. This connector system uses a first connector half mounted to a body and a second connected half that comprises a rigidly mounted outer housing with elastomeric suspension element(s) that suspend an inner connector housing. The outer housing could be mounted to another body in such a way that the mating process of the two connector halves might not be observable. The axial compression force of the two connector halves keeps them tightly mated.
    Type: Grant
