Lever Style De-Latch Mechanism For Pluggable Electronic Module
US Patent:
7114984, Oct 3, 2006
Filed:
Mar 19, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/804637
Inventors:
Michael E. Shirk - Grantville PA, US
Michael D. Long - Hummelstown PA, US
Michael J. Phillips - Camphill PA, US

Assignee:
Tyco Electronics Corporation - Middletown PA
International Classification:
H01R 13/62
US Classification:
439372, 439157, 439352
Abstract:
A lever-style de-latch mechanism for a pluggable electronic module, such as an SFP MSA fiber optic transceiver or other pluggable optoelectronic or electronic module. The mechanism is easily accessible to an operator and does not require any tools to operate. The mechanism uses rotational motion of a lever about a horizontal axis transverse to a horizontal direction of elongation of a module, or about a vertical axis (relative to a module extending in a horizontal plane), to cause translational motion of the de-latch actuator. Mechanisms including both T and bail latch style levers are provided. The lever may be adjacent to, or extend beyond, the front/face of the module's housing for tool-free accessibility and operation. The mechanism may allow the user to apply force to actuate the mechanism in a direction that does not oppose a withdrawal and/or module ejection force.
Opto-Electric Module And Method Of Assembling
US Patent:
2005001, Jan 27, 2005
Filed:
Apr 15, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/825520
Inventors:
Ron Nevo - Fair-Lawn NJ, US
Dominic Canace - Edison NJ, US

Assignee:
Tyco Electronics Corporation - Middletown PA
International Classification:
G02B006/36
US Classification:
385092000
Abstract:
An opto-electric module comprising: (a) an OSA having an optical axis, and optical end, an electrical end; (b) a planar circuit board having top and bottom surfaces and one or more electrical contacts on at least one of the surfaces of the circuit board; (c) a connector interface for receiving a mating connector; (d) a substrate connected to the connector interface, the OSA and the circuit board, the substrate holding the circuit board parallel to the optical axis of the OSA; and (e) an electrical interface between the electrical end of the OSA and the electrical contacts of the circuit board, the electrical interface comprising a flexible conductor extending orthogonally from the optical axis of the OSA and bending around to overlay the electrical contacts on the circuit board.
