Connector assembly

Abstract

The invention provides a connector assembly. The connector assembly comprises a shielding shell, a socket connector and a radiator. The shielding shell is provided with a top wall, a containing cavitylocated in the shielding shell, a socket located at the front end and communicated with the containing cavity, and an open window formed in the top wall in a backward extending mode and communicatedwith the containing cavity. And the socket connector is arranged at the rear section of the accommodating cavity. The radiator is arranged on the top wall and comprises a radiating base, the bottom surface of the radiating base extends downwards into the accommodating cavity through the window and directly faces the top surface of the socket connector, and a front blocking part which protrudes downwards and is suitable for blocking a plug-in module is arranged at the position, facing the socket connector, of the bottom surface of the radiating base. In some embodiments, the heat dissipation base further comprises a heat pipe which extends backwards in a straight mode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a connector assembly, in particular to a connector assembly with a radiator. Background technique [0002] Chinese Invention Patent Publication No. CN101930100A (corresponding to U.S. Patent No. US7,794,241) discloses a connector whose guide frame includes a stamped metal body that defines a shell with a top wall, a bottom wall and side walls. The socket connector is mounted on the rear section of the cavity of the guide frame. The top wall of the guide frame has a large opening above the cavity, which accommodates a heat sink. The heat sink includes a joint surface installed into the inner cavity, and the joint surface of the heat sink is in physical contact with the inserted plug-in module and is close to each other. The top wall of the guide frame includes a front portion, a rear portion, and opposing side portions defining a perimeter of the opening. Portions of the top wall also define mounts for the fins. The top wall...

Problems solved by technology

However, since the top of the socket connector still has the rear portion of the top wall, the heat sink is on the top surface of the rear portion of the top wall, that is to say, the heat sink and the socket connector are still separated by the rear portion of the top wall, so It is bound to affect the cooling efficiency

And because of the existence of the rear portion of the top wall, although the joint surface of the heat sink stretches into the inner cavity through the opening, the bottom surface of the heat sink at the rear portion of the top wall must be raised to the upper surface of the rear portion of the top wall, resulting in The bottom surface of the radiator must have a height difference in the part extending to the rear, especially in radiators containing heat pipes, and the heat pipes are therefore bent
