Electrical assembly within a connector housing

摘要

An electrical assembly configured to be fixed in a housing of an electrical connector includes an electrical package disposed on a substrate and electrically connected to the substrate. The electrical assembly also includes a conductor terminated to the substrate at a spaced apart location from the electrical package to provide at least one of power or control signals to the substrate. A terminating segment of the conductor is thermally coupled to the electrical package to receive heat generated at the electrical package and dissipate the heat through the conductor away from the electrical package.

1. An electrical assembly configured to be fixed in a housing of an electrical connector, the electrical assembly comprising:
an electrical package disposed on a substrate and electrically connected to the substrate, and a conductor comprising a cable and a terminal terminated to the cable at a terminating segment, the terminal having a stamped and formed body extending to a mating end terminated to the substrate at a spaced apart location from the electrical package to provide at least one of power or control signals to the substrate through the mating end, wherein a thermal interface of the body of the terminal is thermally coupled to the electrical package to receive heat generated at the electrical package and to dissipate the heat to the terminating end and the cable away from the electrical package.
