A floating connector assembly for an information handling system includes a first float bracket and a connector. The first float includes a bar. The connector includes a first receptacle and a first compressible component. The first compressible component is placed in physical communication with the bar of the first float bracket. In response to a force exerted on the connector, a region of the first compressible component is compressed. The connector floats with respect to the first float bracket in a direction of the force exerted on the connector.
