And moving downward, since the positions of the supporting hooks 462a of the supporting portions 462 of the moving plate 41 and the supporting spring 46 move downward, the heat sink 42 is linked to move downward from the release position to the contact position. Moreover, at this time, the elastic force of the pressure spring 43 causes the thermal coupling portion 421b at the bottom of the heat sink 42 to face downward and contact the surface of the pluggable module 3 with pressure. In this state, the elastic supporting portions 463 of the support spring 46 are compressed and provide an upward force for driving the moving plate 41 to return to the first position and linking the radiator 42 to return to the release position.

A connector component that contains: A cage shell having at least one plug-in channel, and at least one radiator frame located above the plug-in channel; At least one radiator module is assembled on the radiator frame. The radiator module includes a moving plate, a radiator, a pressure spring, a support spring and a moving plate guide structure; the moving plate has a structure extending into the The pushed portion in the insertion channel, the pressure spring is disposed between the moving plate and the radiator, the support spring faces upward and elastically supports the radiator; the moving plate can be moved by the The moving plate guide structure guides and moves between a first position in front and above and a second position in back and below relative to the radiator frame, and the radiator can move above and below relative to the radiator frame. between the release position and the lower contact position; and The pluggable module can be inserted into the insertion channel of the cage along the insertion direction from front to back to push the pushed part of the moving plate and move the moving plate from the first The position moves backward to the second position, thereby linking the pressure spring to actuate the radiator to move from the release position above to the contact position below and causing the support spring to be compressed. The elastic force of the compression spring causes the bottom of the heat sink to face downward and contact the surface of the pluggable module with pressure; when the pluggable module withdraws from the plug channel, the The support spring lifts the heat sink upward to move to the release position that does not contact the surface of the pluggable module, and the pressure spring actuates the moving plate to move forward to the first position. The connector assembly of claim 14, wherein the heat sink frame has a side wall, the moving plate guide structure includes a guide piece and a guide groove that cooperate with each other, and the guide groove is configured in the heat dissipation The side walls of the device frame extend obliquely toward the rear and downwards. The guide members are constructed on the sides of the moving plate and are assembled into the guide grooves. The guide members can move along the The guide groove moves. The connector assembly according to claim 15, wherein the pressure spring is integrally constructed on the moving plate; when the moving plate moves backward from the first position to the second position, the The pressure spring on the moving plate directly acts on the radiator, thereby moving the radiator downward from the release position to the contact position. The connector assembly of claim 16, wherein the pressure spring includes a plurality of leaf spring portions configured on both sides of the moving plate and arranged front and back, and the plurality of plates of the pressure spring The spring portion diagonally extends forward and downward. The connector assembly according to claim 14, wherein the support spring is constructed on the moving plate, the support spring includes a support bracket that supports the heat sink from bottom to top, and all parts of the support spring The support bracket upwardly and elastically supports the radiator. The connector assembly of claim 18, wherein the radiator frame has a lower wall, the support spring includes a plurality of support brackets configured on both sides of the moving plate, and the support spring is configured on the Both sides of the movable plate are elastically supported downwards by a plurality of elastic supporting parts on the lower wall of the radiator frame. The supporting brackets have downward and inward extensions and are used to hook the heat sink. There are support hooks on the sides of the device, and the elastic supporting portions extend diagonally downward and diagonally forward and backward respectively. The connector assembly of claim 14, wherein the support spring includes at least two support spring structures, the two support spring structures are respectively constructed on the radiator frame and supported on the left and right sides of the radiator. both sides.
