Abstract: A heat sink and module cage assembly for receiving a pluggable electronics component, such as an opto-electronic transceiver module. The heat sink is attached to the module cage and includes a bottom surface forming one of four sidewalls of a chamber that receives the electronics component. The attachment of the heat sink in this manner enables the heat sink and module cage to be assembled during fabrication and prior to the assembly being shipped to a third party who may use the assembly on a printed circuit board. The top surface of the heat sink defines a plane that enables the assembly to be press fitted onto the printed circuit board using a flat rock tool. The sidewall of the cage assembly opposite the bottom surface of the heat sink includes leaf springs that bias the electronics module against the heat sink, thereby facilitating heat transfer to the heat sink.

Abstract: An optical transceiver module having a plurality of optical subassemblies and a printed circuit board is disclosed. The transceiver module includes lead frame connectors for connecting the optical subassemblies to the printed circuit board. The lead frame connectors include a stamped and bent conductive lead structure that is encased in an insert injection molded plastic casing. The plastic casing provides electrical insulation for the conductors in the lead frame as well as mechanical support for the finished component. The lead frame connectors connect to the leads associated with the optical subassemblies and are surface mounted onto the printed circuit board to establish connectivity between the optical subassembly and the printed circuit board. The lead frame assemblies are generally more reliable and less expensive than using flexible printed circuit board structures to establish electrical connectivity between optical subassemblies and transceiver printed circuit boards.

Abstract: An optical transceiver module for use in optical communications networks is disclosed. The transceiver features a simplified optical subassembly structure that facilitates the alignment and calibration of active optical components located thereon. The transceiver includes a shell that contains a transceiver printed circuit board and a transmitter/receiver optical subassembly (“TROSA”) connected to the printed circuit board via a TROSA connector. The TROSA includes a singular substrate on which a laser for producing optical signals and a photodetector for receiving optical signals are disposed. The laser and photodetector are precisely positioned on the TROSA substrate to have a specified spacing therebetween. So positioned, the laser and photodetector can be aligned with conduits of a sleeve assembly in a single alignment operation, thereby simplifying calibration of the transceiver module. The present transceiver eliminates the use of multiple substrates separately supporting the laser and the photodetector, thus also eliminating related alignment challenges.
