A connector for receiving a plurality of plugs is provided. The connector includes a cage, a plurality of partition plates, a plurality of partition sections, and a heat conduction apparatus. The cage includes a plurality of plug receiving passageways arranged along two rows stacked on top of each other. Each of the plurality of partition plates is positioned between two laterally adjacent plug receiving passageways of the plurality of plug receiving passageways, while each of the plurality of partition sections is positioned between two adjacent plug receiving passageways of the plurality of plug receiving passageways. The heat conduction apparatus penetrates through the plurality of partition sections along a width thereof.

Connector for plug, connector and heat conduction apparatus

A structurally compact connector that dissipates heat quickly and efficiently is disclosed. The connector includes a housing having a plug receiving space. An elastic member is positioned on the housing, and is displaceable outward from the housing. A protrusion is positioned on an inner surface of the elastic member and extends into the plug receiving space. A thermally conductive element is disposed on an outer surface of the elastic member and is contactable with a heat sink positioned outside of the housing.
