Abstract
The present application relates to a suitable passive thermal interface that is preferably entirely integrated into the plug, with one or more thermally conductive thermally conductive flexible blades which acts as spring and as a thermal conductor between the optoelectronic or electronic transceiver and the plug body and hence to the outside environment.
Claims19
A plug, intended to be mounted on at least one cable whose one end supports one or more contacts, comprising:
- a front body, that extends along a longitudinal axis (X) and the front body comprising:
- a front portion housing at least one optoelectronic or electronic transceiver, intended to be connected to the contact(s) of the cable, the front portion being intended to be housed in a receptacle when the optoelectronic or electronic transceiver is connected to the connector supported by a printed circuit board of an electronic device,
- a rear portion in the rear extension of the front portion, designed as a heat sink in direct contact with the environment air,
- at least one passive thermal transfer device comprising at least one thermally conductive flexible blade with at least:
- a first end portion pressing against an inner surface of the front portion,
- an intermediate portion acting as a spring, and
- a second end portion pressing against the outer surface of the optoelectronic or electronic transceiver.
4 more elements
A passive thermal transfer device comprising at least one thermally conductive flexible blade with at least:
- a first end portion configured to press against an inner surface of the portion of a body of a plug or a portion of a receptacle,
- an intermediate portion acting as a spring,
- a second end portion configured to press against the outer surface of an optoelectronic or electronic transceiver of the plug,
- a rigid frame including at least one mounting slot into which the at least one flexible blade is mounted with clearance.
