Mounted transceivers

A transceiver, comprising:

• a transceiver body;
• and
• a first mateable electrical connector including first electrical contacts on a first side of said transceiver for mechanically and electrically coupling with second electrical contacts on a printed wire assembly and for mounting said transceiver on said printed wire assembly, wherein said transceiver is capable of being mounted on said printed wire assembly solely by pressing said transceiver against said printed wire assembly in one direction substantially non-parallel to the plane of the printed wire assembly, wherein said second electrical contacts are part of a second mateable electrical connector mounted on said printed wire assembly, and wherein said second mateable electrical connector is capable of mating with said first mateable electrical connector.

A transceiver, comprising:

• a transceiver body including transceiver electrical contacts on one side thereof;
• and
• a first mateable electrical connector including first electrical contacts on a first side of thereof for electrically coupling with said transceiver electrical contacts and including second connector electrical contacts on a second side thereof for mechanically and electrically coupling a printed wire assembly and for removably mounting said transceiver on said printed wire assembly, wherein said transceiver is capable of being mounted on said printed wire assembly solely by pressing said transceiver against said printed wire assembly in one direction substantially non-parallel to the plane, of said printed wire assembly, wherein said second connector electrical contacts comprise a ball grid array.
