Optical connector assembly

摘要

Methods, apparatuses, and systems related to optical connector assemblies are described. In some embodiments, the connector assemblies may include an optical assembly, having an optical interconnect and an optical module, to be coupled with a host electrical connector. The connector assembly may further include springs, disposed on the optical interconnect or the host electrical connector, to facilitate a coupling of the optical interconnect with the optical module. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

主权项

1. A host electrical connector comprising:
a plurality of electrical connections; and a frame having:
a first side to house the plurality of electrical connections on an interior portion of the first side;a second side adjacent to the first side, wherein the second side is associated with a first extension, wherein the first extension is associated with a first spring;a third side adjacent to the first side opposite the second side; wherein the third side is associated with a second extension, wherein the second extension is associated with a second spring, wherein the first, second, and third sides define an opening to receive an optical assembly; wherein the optical assembly, in response to insertion into the host electrical connector is to load the first and second springs to provide a force directed toward the plurality of electrical connections, to secure coupling of the optical assembly with the host electrical connector,wherein the frame includes a recess formed in interior edges of the first, second, and third sides, wherein at least some of the electrical connections are disposed in a portion of the recess.
