    摘要: An electrical connector system has two connectors, one of which is included in a module mateable with the other connector in a pluggable manner. The other connector includes a body and two or more electrical contacts. The body of that electrical connector includes a spring that provides a combined lock-down force and kick-out force. The lock-down force biases the module against the other connector, thereby providing a secure electrical and mechanical connection. The kick-out force biases the module away from the other connector to separate or eject the module when a user actuates a release mechanism. The module also includes a slot that engages a projection on the other connector to promote alignment of the mating electrical contacts.

    摘要: An electrical connector system has two connectors, one of which is included in a module mateable with the other connector in a pluggable manner. The other connector includes an elongated guide rail and a connector block in which are retained two or more electrical contacts. The guide rail by use of snap projections and recesses (11) may extend through an opening in a computer enclosure. A latch member is attached to the end of the guide rail in a manner that releases the latch member from the guide rail if the latch member is bumped or jarred to minimize the likelihood of damaging it. A grounding strip embedded in the guide rail makes electrical contact with the bezel through which it extends to protect against EMI. The ground strip includes raised contact portions (41) that engage a conductive bottom cover (39) of the module (72) and lower contact portions (53) for surface mount to a system circuit board (26).

    摘要: A connector system for a removable transceiver module that interfaces with an electronic device, such as a computer, switch, subsystem, peripheral device, disk drive, tape drive and other input/output devices. The electronic device includes an enclosure having a bezel that has an opening for receiving the module. A circuit board is mounted within the enclosure. A guide member is mounted on the circuit board and is elongated between first and second ends along a first axis. A connector block is located at the first end of the guide member, while a door is pivotally mounted at the second end of the guide member. The module is slidably engageable with the guide member in a direction along the first axis. The module also includes electrical contacts electrically connectable with corresponding electrical contacts in the connector block. The door is pivotable between an open position exposing the opening in the bezel and a closed position where a portion of the door outside the enclosure covers the opening. The door effectively minimizes the likelihood of dust entering the electronic device. Preferably, to provide effective EMI shielding, the door and the bezel each comprise an electrically conductive material and are configured to make electrical contact with each other when said door is closed. The door may be positively latched in the closed position and spring biased toward the open position. The door preferably includes features for guiding and latching the module.

    摘要: An electromagnetic radiation shield useful to attenuate or prevent the escape of electromagnetic radiation from the front of transceiver opto-electronic subassemblies resident in an opening or port in the housing of an electronic system is formed with both an aperture for each barrel of the opto-electronic subassemblies and a plurality of extensions projecting outwardly from the shield. The distal ends of the extensions are bent or shaped to form smoothly curved contact surfaces that project outside the transceiver module to make contact with a grounded member of the housing or other electrically grounded portion of the electronic system of which the transceiver module is a part. The electromagnetic radiation shield is assembled with the transceiver subassemblies and disposed within a transceiver module to be inserted into a communications port of a computer or server. The transceiver module contains elements that may generate and radiate electromagnetic energy. The electromagnetic energy must be prevented from escaping or attenuated to prevent electromagnetic interference in the other nearby electronic components or systems susceptible to electromagnetic interference.

    摘要: A push-to-release latching mechanism for retaining a transceiver module in a communication port of a computer or server is provided with a beam spring structure for positional restoration of the latch member, and the latch is supported and moveable relative to the host transceiver module. The latch member may be formed to include camming surfaces that facilitate the insertion of the transceiver module into a communication port and mate with a guide rail and connector resident in a communication port. The latch member may be adapted to latch with a rigid latch bar or a cantilevered spring. Additionally, the latch may be formed with a camming surface which insures that the latch is displaced to a latching position whenever network cables are connected to the transceiver module by camming the latch into the secure, latched position and subsequently preventing the latch from moving to an insecure or unlatched position. The latch member is pivotally supported on the transceiver module in a shaft/journal arrangement and thus is removed from the communication port whenever the transceiver module is removed, thereby preventing the latch from projecting from the communication port and being subject to damage. The latch member may be formed with a living hinge to provide a pivot axis and one end of the living hinge may be attached to a electronic module chassis or to a support structure which may be mated with a electronic module chassis for easy replaceability.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an optical transceiver unlatching device for disengaging the optical transceiver from a mounting cage found in a host computer device. The unlatching device converts rotational motion from a bail handle into reciprocating motion for a sliding latch member, which disengages spring fingers extending from the mounting cage from abutment surfaces formed in the sides of the optical transceiver. A return spring, extending between the sliding latch member and the optical transceiver housing, is provided to bias the unlatching device into the latched position.
