[0037] See also Figures 1 to 5The utility model discloses an electrical connector assembly 1000, including an electrical connector 100 and a heat dissipation module 200. The heat dissipation module 200 can contact an electronic card 300 inserted into the electrical connector 100 to help the electronic card 300 dissipate heat. The electrical connector 100 includes an insulating body 10 with a card slot 11, a plurality of terminals 20 extending into the card slot 11, and a metal shell 30 shielding the insulating body 10. The heat dissipation module 200 is provided with a pivot 41, and the metal shell 30 is provided with a hook portion 31. The pivot 41 is pivotally connected to the hook portion 31 so that the heat dissipation module 200 can rotate around the electrical connector 100, which is conducive to realizing the heat dissipation module 200 being plugged in and out of the electrical connector 100 at multiple angles. The metal shell 30 includes a pair of side plates 32 arranged on both sides of the insulating body 10. The insulating body 10 includes a front end face 12, a rear end face 13 and an upper end face 14 connecting the front and rear end faces. The slot 11 passes through the front end face 12. In the present embodiment, the hook portion 31 extends upward from the side plate 32 to the upper end face 14. The hook portion 31 is provided with an opening 310 passing through forward, and the pivot 41 is mounted in the opening 310. In the present embodiment, the hook portion 31 is roughly in the shape of a "C" facing forward. In other embodiments, the hook portion 31 may also be set to other shapes as long as the pivot 41 can be pivotally connected therein. The hook portion 31 may also be formed by extending upward from the insulating body 10 as long as the effect of being pivotally connected to the pivot 41 can be achieved. Combination Figure 6 to Figure 7 The metal shell 30 includes a rear plate 33 connecting a pair of side plates 32 and a top plate 34 extending forward from the upper end of the rear plate 33.

[0038] Figures 2 to 4 The process of assembling the heat dissipation module 200 to the electrical connector 100 is roughly shown. First, the pivot 41 of the heat dissipation module 200 is installed into the opening 310, and then the heat dissipation module 200 is rotated downward until it contacts the electronic card 300. The opening 310 is arranged in a structure with a large edge penetrating the outside and a small inside. The large edge of the opening 310 is conducive to expanding the plug-in angle of the heat dissipation module 200 and the electrical connector 100, and the small inside of the opening 310 is conducive to strengthening the assembly stability of the pivot 41 and the hook 31.

In this embodiment, the rotation angle can reach at least 270 degrees. Figure 5 As shown, the pivot 41 protrudes laterally from the plate 42, and the hook 31 is correspondingly disposed on both sides of the top of the electrical connector 100. When assembling, it is only necessary to insert the pivot 41 into the hook 31 without using additional tools. The assembly process is relatively simple and easy to operate. The pivot 41 is made of plastic or metal.
