Abstract: A pluggable module includes a pluggable body extending between a front end and a mating end receivable in a module cavity of a receptacle assembly to mate with a communication connector. The pluggable body has channel walls defining a cooling channel at a top of the pluggable body allowing airflow between the front end and the mating end. The pluggable body has a plurality of heat transfer fins in the cooling channel between the channel walls and a landing cover spanning between the channel walls over the heat transfer fins. The channel walls, the heat transfer fins and the landing cover are an integral unitary structure.

Abstract: An electrical connector that includes a housing with an interior cavity configured to receive a card. Electrical contacts are secured across a wall of the housing within the interior cavity and are configured to matingly receive corresponding electrical contacts of the card. The plurality of electrical contacts secured across the wall of the housing are the only electrical contacts of the electrical connector. Each of the plurality of electrical contacts includes a mating interface and the mating interface of each of the plurality of electrical contacts is co-planer. Additionally, the housing includes a card slot opening and each of the plurality of electrical contacts are arranged on one side of the card slot opening.

Abstract: A lead frame module of an electrical connector includes a ground lead frame, signal conductors, a dielectric holder, and a ground plate. The ground lead frame includes multiple ground conductors and a tie bar that extends between and connects the ground conductors. The signal conductors are interleaved with the ground conductors. The signal conductors have jogged segments that extend across the tie bar around an outer side of the tie bar without engaging the tie bar. The dielectric holder at least partially surrounds the signal conductors and the ground lead frame to secure the signal conductors relative to the ground lead frame. The ground plate is disposed along an interior side of the dielectric holder and engages an inner side of the tie bar, which is opposite the outer side, to electrically connect the ground plate to the ground lead frame.

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 lead frame module includes a lead frame including ground conductors and signal conductors interleaved with the ground conductors side-by-side. The ground and signal conductors have transition portions extending between mating ends and terminating ends. A dielectric holder supports the lead frame and at least partially surrounds the transition portions of the ground and signal conductors. The dielectric holder has a first side and a second side with wells in the first side open to the transition portions of the ground conductors. A printed metal layer is formed in situ on the first side of the dielectric holder and at least partially fills the wells and engages the ground conductors in the wells to electrically connect to the ground conductors. The printed metal layer electrically connect a plurality of the ground conductors.

Abstract: A contact assembly includes a contact array having contacts with transition portions between mating and terminating portions with contact tails extending to tips. The contact assembly has a dielectric contact holder holding the transition portions. The contact assembly has a solder ball module defining a board interface to a host circuit board. The solder ball module has a gathering housing with contact channels extending between a top and a bottom receiving contact tails of corresponding contacts. The gathering housing has solder balls arranged at the bottom at each contact channel being electrically connected to the tips of the contact tails and being configured to be reflow soldered to circuits of the host circuit board to electrically connect the contacts to the host circuit board.
