  • Publication number: 20240006809
    Abstract: A connector assembly is provided. The connector assembly includes a receptacle module and a pluggable module. The receptacle module includes a cage, a receptacle connector, a biasing spring, and a locking member. The pluggable module is moved from a front end to a back end, so as to be aligned and mated with the receptacle module. The biasing spring is configured to apply a spring load toward the front end of the cage. Accordingly, the mating between the receptacle module and the pluggable module may be accomplished through alignment in the following manner: the pluggable module pushes the receptacle connector toward the back end to compress the biasing spring, so that the receptacle connector is moved toward the back end to the locking member to be mated with the pluggable module.

  • Patent number: 10680361
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an electrical connector. The electrical connector comprises an insulative housing, a plurality of conductive terminals and a board fastener. The insulative housing has a mounting surface and a mating surface on opposite sides in a mating direction and a mounting chamber. The mounting chamber has a top accommodating portion and a bottom accommodating portion extending and penetrating the mounting surface from the top accommodating portion in the mating direction, two side walls defining the mounting chamber each are formed with a top limiting surface and a bottom limiting surface which define the top accommodating portion. The fastener has a mounting section accommodated in the top accommodating portion, an intermediate section extending from the mounting section and accommodated in the bottom accommodating portion and a tail section extending out of the mounting surface of the insulative housing from the intermediate section.
