SLB connectors with float mount hardware can provide a low-cost alternative to other blind-mate connector systems in applications below 4 GHz.The float of the panel mounted connectors, combined with the closed-entry mating end hood of the plugs, allows the mating pairs to be misaligned up to .025“ without damage occurring during mating. Since the axial float is not spring-loaded, panel-to-panel separation should be maintained within ±.010“ of the recommended dimension mated.Mating force per connector pair is 3 pounds maximum, and unmating force is 8 ounces minimum per pair. External actuators, such as levers, guide rails, or jackscrews, should be incorporated in applications requiring simultaneous mating of multiple connector pairs. This is particularly important one side is mounted to a P.C. board.Only one side of the mating pair should be float mounted; float mounting both connectors in a mating pair will allow a float that exceeds the plug mating end hood's ability to guide the jack into proper orientation.This style of float mounting is not recommended for applications which undergo vibration while powered. Vibration of this style of float mounting can cause intermittent ground interrupts. For SLB connectors with vibration-proof float mounts
