COMMUNICATION MODULE ASSEMBLY WITH HEAT SINK AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE

摘要

A communication assembly can include: a module device; a cage having a body defining a first open end that is configured to receive the module device therethrough and the body defining one or more first receiver members between the first end and a second end opposite of the first end, the one or more first receiver members having a first part of fastening system (e.g., two-part fastening system); and a heat sink adapted to be received into the cage so as to be thermally coupled with the module device, the heat sink having a body defining one or more second receiver members configured to receive the one or more first receiver members, the one or more second receiver members having a second part of the fastening system that couples with the first part of the fastening system.

主权项

1. An assembly comprising:
a cage having a cage body defining a first open end and an open top with one or more rails on each side of the open top between the first open end and a second end wall of the cage body, a cage cavity having the first open end and open top; a module device located in the cage cavity so as to protrude from the first open end; a heat sink slidably received and located in the cage cavity over and thermally coupled with the module device so as to protrude from the open top, the heat sink having a heat sink body defining one or more slots on each side that slidably receive and mate with the one or more rails therein, wherein one of the rails or slots includes one or more leaf springs and the other of the rails or slots includes one or more leaf spring-receiving surfaces.
