Embodiment Construction

[0011] figure 1 is a perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of the electrical connector assembly 10 . figure 2 is a perspective view of the electrical connector assembly 10 installed in the opening 12 in the panel or bezel 14 and mounted on the circuit board 16 . The electrical connector assembly 10 can pass through the opening 12 in the bezel 14 . The electrical connector assembly 10 is configured to be disposed on the circuit board 16 to connect one or more pluggable modules 26 via the communication connector(s) 20 (in Figure 4 with Figure 5 ) are electrically connected to the circuit board 16, a pluggable module 26 such as but not limited to a small form factor pluggable (SFP) module. Bezel 14 may be disposed on the front of a panel, rack, housing, or other structure in which electrical connector assembly 10 is utilized. A circuit board 16 is disposed inside such an enclosure, and the electrical connector assembly 10 enables pluggable module(s) 26 positioned out...

Abstract

An EMI gasket for a cage member of an electrical connector assembly includes a base having a metal body section configured to extend along a wall of the cage member. The EMI gasket includes external spring beams extending from the base. The external spring beams are configured to be received in an opening of a bezel mounted to a front end of the cage member and configured to engage the bezel to electrically connect the EMI gasket to the bezel. The external spring beams extend from base ends at the base to distal ends opposite the base ends. The EMI gasket includes a tie bar at the distal ends connecting the distal ends of the external spring beams together. The tie bar has a flange extending outward therefrom. The flange is configured to stop loading of the bezel onto the front end of the cage member.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to electromagnetic interference (EMI) gaskets for electrical connectors. Background technique [0002] Some known electrical connector assemblies include a metal cage having multiple ports, each port receiving a Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) module. The pluggable module can be plugged into the communication connector held in the cage and electrically connected to the host circuit board. The front end of the cage, including the ports for the pluggable modules, is typically held within a panel of the housing, and / or a bezel covers the front end of the cage. The front end of the cage typically includes a plurality of springs to retain the cage end within the opening, and / or contain EMI radiation through the opening. However, springs are prone to damage. For example, if the frame plate is loaded too far back, eg beyond the end of the spring, removal of the frame plate will damage the spring, eg by bending the spring. ...
