    摘要: A heat dissipation system for an optical communications module is provided that includes a heat dissipation clamp having a plurality of force-application devices for applying respective, precisely-controlled forces to respective optical communications modules of an array to maintain electrical interconnectivity between the modules of the array and respective electrical sockets. The force-application devices are independent of one another such that the respective electrical interconnectivity forces applied to the respective modules are independent of one another. This independence ensures that the proper amount of electrical interconnectivity force is applied to each module of the array, which ensures that the planarity of the system PCB is maintained without the need for a backing, or bolstering, plate. Inner walls of the heat dissipation clamp are in contact with the modules so that heat generated by the modules is transferred into the heat dissipation clamp where some or all of the heat is dissipated.

    摘要: An optical module includes an optical lens block, an optical fiber connector, a fixing sheet, a fixing pin, two fixing arms, two elastic sheets and two elastic engagement portions. The optical fiber connector is optically coupled to the optical lens block. The fixing pin is inserted into a first opening on the optical lens block and a second opening on the optical fiber connector. The two fixing arms are positioned at the fixing sheet. The optical lens block and optical fiber connector are positioned between the fixing arms. The elastic sheets are respectively positioned at the front ends of the fixing arms. The elastic sheets press upon the optical lens block to push the optical lens block. The elastic engagement portions are respectively positioned at the rear end of the fixing arms and press upon the optical fiber connector to push the optical fiber connector.
