  • Patent number: 10861772
    Abstract: A clamping mechanism adapted to clamp a heat sink on a housing of an electronic device comprises a frame, a plurality of mounting legs connected on the frame, and a plurality of elastic tabs obliquely extending from the frame towards the heat sink. The frame has a rectangular shape and includes a first arm adapted to be connected to a front end of the housing, a second arm adapted to be connected to a rear end of the housing, and a pair of third arms connected between the first arm and the second arm. The mounting legs are configured to mount the frame on the housing. The elastic tabs press the heat sink against the housing. Each of the third arms has at least one of the elastic tabs.

  • Publication number: 20180129000
    Abstract: A connector for receiving one or more plug modules comprises a housing and a partition wall disposed in the housing and dividing an inner space of the housing into an upper insertion port and a lower insertion port. A first rigid convex member protruding toward an inner space of the upper insertion port is formed on a top wall of the upper insertion port and a second rigid convex member protruding toward an inner space of the lower insertion port is formed on a bottom wall of the lower insertion port. The first rigid convex member physically contacts a first plug module inserted into the upper insertion port and the second rigid convex member physically contacts a second plug module inserted into the lower insertion port.
