What is a Floating Connector?
IRISO' "Floating Connector" is a general term for connectors with Floating structure Floating move between rows and in the pitch direction (X-axis-Y-axis) by providing a Floating spring part in the terminal.
Most general Board to Board Connectors are rigid (fixed) types that do not have a Floating spring, and if the mounting position on the board is misaligned, they will not be able Mating. However, Floating Connector are equipped with a Floating structure mechanism that absorbs errors even if the position is misaligned, so they can still Mating properly.
The Floating connector absorbs misalignment of the board and reduces stress on the soldered parts, preventing poor contact due to defects such as solder cracks.
Floating Connector Selection Guide
At IRISO, we utilize our highly specialized and reliable Floating structure technology to offer a wide variety of connectors, the most extensive in the world. On this page, we will introduce the features and specifications of our products, focusing on size, etc., to help you select the optimal connector from our extensive lineup.
Advantages of using Floating Connector
Various problems can be solved by using Floating Connector.
- Absorbs misalignment after Mating, reduces stress on solder joints, and suppresses cracks.
- Multiple connectors can be used on the same board.
- The degree of freedom in board layout and circuit design is improved.
- It contributes to automation by absorbing misalignment during Mating due to robot assembly.
