Abstract: A dual connector system includes a host circuit board and first and second electrical connectors mounted to the host circuit board. The first electrical connector has a housing having a card slot for a module circuit board and the second electrical connector has a housing having an upper mating surface for the module circuit board. The housing has a first side and an opposite second side with connector latching features and holding second contacts at the upper mating surface between the first and second sides. A dual connector module is mated to the first and second electrical connectors. A securing strap is secured to the dual connector module and has a first strap latching feature being latchably coupled to the corresponding connector latching feature to secure the dual connector module to the second electrical connector.

Abstract: A heat spreader includes a main body extending between a front and a rear configured to be mounted to a cage and heat transfer fingers cantilevered forward from the front of the main body. The heat transfer fingers each have a fixed end, a distal end, a top, a bottom and mating edges facing each other across gaps. The heat transfer fingers are configured to be received in corresponding channels between heat transfer fins of a pluggable module as the pluggable module is installed in the cage through the front end with the gaps receiving the heat transfer fins. The mating edges are configured to face and be thermally coupled to corresponding heat transfer fins. The heat transfer fingers transfer heat from the heat transfer fins rearward toward the distal ends and into the main body.
