Arrangement for connecting a pluggable transceiver

摘要

An apparatus including a socket forming at least one compartment together with a printed circuit board assembly. The compartment including a first side wall, a second side wall, a ceiling, and an opening for receiving one pluggable transceiver, such that when the pluggable transceiver is inserted into the opening, a transceiver contact of the pluggable transceiver is connected to a respective board contact of the printed circuit board assembly. A clamping means is arranged along at least one surface of: the first side wall, the second side wall and the ceiling, to exert a pressure on the pluggable transceiver towards a surface that is opposed the surface on which the clamping means is arranged. The opposed being one of: the second side wall, the first side wall, and the printed circuit board assembly, when the pluggable transceiver is inserted into the opening.

1. An apparatus for connecting at least one pluggable transceiver to a communication network device, the apparatus comprising: a socket arranged to form at least one compartment together with a printed circuit board assembly when the socket is mounted on the printed circuit board assembly, where the compartment comprises a first side wall, a second side wall, a ceiling, and an opening for receiving the pluggable transceiver, such that when the pluggable transceiver is inserted into the opening, a transceiver contact of the pluggable transceiver is connected to a respective board contact of the printed circuit board assembly, and a clamping means arranged along at least one surface of: the first side wall, the second side wall and the ceiling, such that the clamping means exerts a pressure on the pluggable transceiver towards a surface that is opposed the surface on which the clamping means is arranged, said opposed surface being one of: the second side wall, the first side wall, and the printed circuit board assembly, when the pluggable transceiver is inserted into the opening, wherein the clamping means comprises a first clamping member arranged substantially alongside the first side wall to exert the pressure on the pluggable transceiver towards the second side wall, and a second clamping member arranged substantially alongside the second side wall to exert the pressure on the pluggable transceiver towards the first side wall.
