OPTICAL ASSEMBLIES WITH MANAGED CONNECTIVITY

摘要

An example universal contact assembly includes plug contact members and a sensing contact member that are overmolded together to form a single unit. Example adapter block assembly include a first optical adapter; a first contact assembly disposed in an aperture defined in the first optical adapter; a first circuit board; and a retainer arrangement that holds the first circuit board to the first optical adapter with sufficient force to retain the first contact assembly within the aperture. Example retainer arrangements include a cover having flanges with tabs that deflect into cavities defined by the first optical adapter; clamp members that clamp a cover to the first optical adapter to hold the first circuit board therebetween; and a retention strip having barbs that attach to the first optical adapter and barbs that attach to the first printed circuit board.

主权项

1. A contact assembly comprising:
a body having a first end and an opposite second end that define a longitudinal axis of the body, the body also having a first side and an opposite second side that define a lateral axis of the body; a plurality of plug contact members coupled to the body, the plug contact members being laterally spaced from each other along the lateral axis of the body, each plug contact member having a first portion extending outwardly from the first end of the body to define a first contact section, each plug contact member also having a second section that extends outwardly from the second end of the body, the second sections of the plug contact members defining resilient sections at the second end of the body and defining second contact sections at which the plug contact members extend back towards the body.
