Appl. No.:

11/830674

Inventors:

Joshua Moore - Sunnyvale CA, US

Assignee:

Finisar Corporation - Sunnyvale CA

International Classification:

H01R 13/64

US Classification:

439372, 439 761, 361728

Abstract:

A latching mechanism for use in selectively securing a module within a receptacle of a host device. In one example embodiment, a latching mechanism includes a bail and a latch attached to the bail. The bail is configured to be attached to a shell of a module and to rotate about a first axis between a latched position and an unlatched position. The first axis is in a fixed position relative to the shell. The latch is attached to the bail at a second axis that is offset from the first axis. The latch is configured to rotate about the second axis. The second axis is movable relative to the shell.

Inventors:

Joshua Moore - Sunnyvale CA, US

Assignee:

Finisar Corporation - Sunnyvale CA

International Classification:

G02B 6/42

US Classification:

385 92

Abstract:

In one example embodiment, an optical subassembly (OSA) positioning device includes a front piece, a top back piece, and a top connector piece connecting the front piece and the top back piece, a bottom back piece, and a bottom connector piece connecting the from piece and the bottom back piece. The front piece defines a first port. The first port is configured to receive and substantially secure a first OSA in an x-axis position and a y-axis position when the OSA positioning device is positioned within an optoelectronic module. The top and bottom connector pieces are deformable in response to an exerted force so as to bias a flange of the first OSA against a shell of the optoelectronic module such that the first OSA is secured in a z-axis position when the OSA positioning device is positioned within the optoelectronic module.

International Classification:

H01R 13/648

US Classification:

439607

Abstract:

In one example embodiment, a collar clip includes a body that is sized and configured to partially encircle a shell of an optoelectronic transceiver module. Each extended element in a pair of the extended elements is separated from the other extended element in the pair by a cavity. Each cavity is configured to receive a portion of a corresponding structure of the shell.

Abstract:

A retention mechanism for an electronic or optoelectronic module. In one example embodiment, an optoelectronic module retention clip includes a base, a pair of arms extending from the base, and a protrusion extending from each arm. Each protrusion is configured to engage a complementary structure defined in a de-latch slide and a complementary structure defined in an optoelectronic module shell so as to prevent motion of the de-latch slide relative to the shell when the optoelectronic module retention clip is attached to the optoelectronic module.

US Classification:

385 92, 385 88, 398135

Abstract:

In one example, an optical subassembly positioning plate is provided that includes a substantially flat body that defines at least one edge. A port is defined in the body. The port is configured to receive and secure an optical subassembly in an x-direction and a y-direction when said optical subassembly positioning plate is positioned within an optoelectronic transceiver module. A plurality of fingers is defined along at least one edge of the body. Each of the plurality of fingers is configured to contact a shell of the optoelectronic transceiver module so as to bias a flange of the optical subassembly against a portion of the shell of the optoelectronic transceiver module such that the optical subassembly is substantially retained in a z-direction when the optical subassembly positioning plate is positioned within the optoelectronic transceiver module.

Abstract:

Mechanisms and systems for dissipating heat from an optical transceiver module to a module card cage system. In one embodiment, a thermal conductive label having at least one raised portion is attached to a surface of the module. The raised portion is configured to contact at least a portion of the card cage to dissipate heat from the module to the card cage. In another embodiment, the card cage has a protruding depression formed on a part of its surface that is above a slot configured to receive an optical transceiver module. The protruding depression is configured to contact at least a portion of the module to dissipate heat from the module to the card cage.
