Abstract: A stacked I/O connector for use with a high speed, high density transceiver that generates a large amount of heat. The connector may be formed with a web-like housing into which leadframe assemblies are inserted. The web-like housing may have openings in the front, back, top and/or sides, enabling airflow through the connector with little resistance. Sidewall openings may open into a channel between the housing and a wall of cage, enabling air flowing to cool transceivers inserted into the cage to pass through the connector assembly with low resistance and high cooling efficiency. A cage for the connector may have openings selectively positioned such that air flowing through the cage to cool transceivers mated to the I/O connector may pass through the connector with low resistance, enhancing cooling efficiency. Such a connector may be used with OSFP transceivers to meet signal integrity and thermal requirements at 112 GBps and beyond.

Abstract: Disclosed are a 28-pin dual-tongue magnetic connector and a dual-tongue connector, the connector includes two tongues, and 28 terminals are arranged on inner sides of the two tongues; compared with the prior art, the 28 terminals can achieve a lower loop impedance on a power supply loop and allow applications with higher power. Further, arrangement of the 28 terminals on the inner sides of the two tongues can provide good dustproof effects, and better heat distribution can be achieved. The terminals on both sides are far apart, making them less likely to generate crosstalk when data runs at a high frequency of 80 Gbps and a high power of 480 W, thereby ensuring stable and efficient data transmission.
