Abstract: An adapter for interconnecting a Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver into a receptacle configured to receive a Small Form Factor (SFF) transceiver. The innovative adapter provides an interface for connecting an SFP transceiver to an SFF receptacle (e.g. footprint) on a printed circuit board. This enables manufacturers and customers with printed circuit boards originally designed to receive and interoperate only with SFF transceivers, to replace SFF transceivers with newer SFP transceiver models through the use of the innovative interface described herein.

Abstract: A cable connector has male and female connector portions that slide together in a mating direction. The housing of one connector portion has a shoulder with a surface roughly perpendicular to the mating direction. The other connector portion has a resilient retainer spring attached thereto which extends parallel to the mating direction. When the connector portions are mated, the retainer spring has a finger which slips over the shoulder surface and is held in position by the resilience of the spring to provide a retention force that resists a separation of the male and female connector portions. However, the finger is shaped and resilience of the retainer spring is such that the finger will slip off the shoulder surface upon application of a sufficiently large separation force so that separation of the connector portions may occur without damage.
