Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing and a plurality of signal conductors held within the housing. The housing includes a mating shroud protruding forward from a front wall of the housing and defining a port that receives a mating circuit card therein. Each of the signal conductors includes a mating contact disposed within the mating shroud and a mounting contact that projects beyond a bottom end of the housing to electrically connect to a circuit board. The mounting contacts are located within a termination area of the electrical connector. The housing defines a nesting cavity extending rearward from the front wall along the bottom end. The nesting cavity is disposed between the mating shroud and the termination area along a longitudinal axis of the electrical connector. The nesting cavity is configured to accommodate a discrete, second connector that is mounted to the circuit board.

Abstract: A dual connector system includes a host circuit board with first and second electrical connectors. The first electrical connector has a housing with a card slot. The second electrical connector has a housing having a latch member including a latching tab. The dual connector system includes a dual connector module having a module circuit board having contact pads. The dual connector module has a latching element that engages the latching tab to hold the dual connector module in the mated position with the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector. The dual connector system includes an ejector actuated to release the latching tab from the latch member to allow the dual connector module to unmate from the electrical connectors.

Abstract: An electronic assembly includes an electronic package connected to a host circuit board. The electronic assembly includes interposer assemblies electrically connected to the electronic package. The electronic assembly includes cable modules coupled to upper separable interface of the interposer assemblies. The electronic assembly includes carrier assemblies configured to be coupled to an upper surface of the electronic package. Each carrier assembly includes a carrier base block and a carrier lid configured to hold at least one interposer assembly and at least one cable module. The carrier assemblies hold the cable modules with the module contacts in electrical connection with upper mating interfaces of the interposer contacts. The carrier assemblies hold lower mating interfaces of the interposer contacts in electrical connection with upper package contacts of the electronic package. The carrier assemblies are separately removable from the electronic package to separate the interposer assemblies from the electronic package.

Abstract: A dual connector system includes a host circuit board and first and second electrical connectors mounted to the host circuit board. The first electrical connector has a housing having a card slot for a module circuit board and the second electrical connector has a housing having an upper mating surface for the module circuit board. The housing has a first side and an opposite second side with connector latching features and holding second contacts at the upper mating surface between the first and second sides. A dual connector module is mated to the first and second electrical connectors. A securing strap is secured to the dual connector module and has a first strap latching feature being latchably coupled to the corresponding connector latching feature to secure the dual connector module to the second electrical connector.

Abstract: A heat spreader includes a main body extending between a front and a rear configured to be mounted to a cage and heat transfer fingers cantilevered forward from the front of the main body. The heat transfer fingers each have a fixed end, a distal end, a top, a bottom and mating edges facing each other across gaps. The heat transfer fingers are configured to be received in corresponding channels between heat transfer fins of a pluggable module as the pluggable module is installed in the cage through the front end with the gaps receiving the heat transfer fins. The mating edges are configured to face and be thermally coupled to corresponding heat transfer fins. The heat transfer fingers transfer heat from the heat transfer fins rearward toward the distal ends and into the main body.
