Finned patterns 5 are arranged at the lower end of the heat sink 11. The heat sink 11 is used to dissipate the heat of the slot 1.
[0025] When the slot 1 generates heat, the clamping ring 13 will transfer the heat to the heat sink 11, and the heat is dissipated outward through the heat sink 11 and the finned patterns 5 on the surface of the heat sink 11, so as to achieve the heat dissipation effect.
[0026] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 silicone grease 9 is filled between the clamping ring 13 and the connection ends of the slot 1 and between the heat sink 11 and the clamping ring 13. The silicone grease 9 is used to fill the gaps between the clamping ring 13 and the connection ends of the slot 1 and between the heat sink 11 and the clamping ring 13.
[0027] By using the silicone grease 9 to fill the gaps between the clamping ring 13 and the connection ends of the slot 1 and between the heat sink 11 and the clamping ring 13, the contact between the connection ends can be made more dense, thereby improving the heat conduction efficiency.
[0028] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 openings 14 are formed at the left and right edges of the upper end of the clamping ring 13. The two openings 14 are used to reserve an installation position for the outer shielding shell 4. The heat sink 11 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the clamping ring 13 by screwing a plurality of screws 15. The clamping ring 13 is made of a copper sheet, and the heat sink 11 is made of an aluminum sheet.

The connector of the data cable will be sleeved on the surface of the tongue plate 8 and fixed by clamping the data cable connector through the card slot 6. After the data cable connector is sleeved on the surface of the tongue plate 8, it will come into contact with the terminals 10, and the connecting feet 12 are connected to the main board. Current is supplied to the terminals 10 through the connecting feet 12 for charging and data transmission.
