Further examples of optical transceivers can be mounted to a base and placed in electrical communication with an electrical connector. A lid provides a compressive force that simultaneously makes electrical contact between the transceiver and a host printed circuit board (PCB) and provides a low impedance heat transfer path to dissipate heat generated during transceiver operation.
An electrical connector includes a heat dissipation module with a first end and a second end opposed to the first end and two receptacle connectors located at the second end. The first and second ends define a transceiver-mating direction such that, when a transceiver is inserted into the first end of the heat dissipation module in the transceiver-mating direction, the transceiver mates with one of the two receptacle connectors, and in the heat dissipation module, air flows parallel to the transceiver-mating direction between the first and second ends and flows between the two receptacle connectors.
An electrical connector includes a connector housing and a plurality of electrical contacts supported by the connector housing. The electrical contacts are oriented oblique to a mounting interface of the connector housing that mounts to an underlying substrate. The electrical connector can further include a plurality of electrical cables mounted to the electrical contacts. The electrical cables can extend from the electrical contacts along a direction oblique to the mounting interface.
