An apparatus, in particular a transceiver device, for insertion into a receptacle device has at least one connecting element which, when the apparatus is inserted, is placed in contact with at least one corresponding connecting element. This provides improved, user-friendliness of such an apparatus. The apparatus has at least one pivot lever that is pivotably attached to the apparatus in such a way that, by pivoting the pivot lever against the receptacle device, the apparatus can be pushed out of the receptacle device.

Transceiver device

The invention relates to a coupling unit for coupling an optical transmitting and/or receiving module to an optical fiber. The coupling unit has a connecting area that can be connected to a transmitting and/or receiving module, and a holding area that holds an optical fiber. A transparent coupling area is provided, which is formed as an integral component of the coupling unit, and via which light can be coupled directly between an optical fiber that is inserted into the holding area and a transmitting and/or receiving module that is coupled directly to it. The coupling area preferably has a matched refractive index. The coupling unit is preferably in the form of an injection-molded part.

An arrangement for connecting the terminal contacts of an electronic component to electrical contacts formed on a printed circuit board. An at least partly flexible conductor support having a plurality of interconnects provides an electrical connection between the terminal contacts of the electronic component and the electrical contacts of the printed circuit board such that a portion of the conductor support that is connected to the printed circuit board is arranged on an end face of the printed circuit board and extends perpendicularly in relation to the upper and lower surfaces of the printed circuit board. Furthermore, a conductor support formed with relatively narrow middle portion is provided to facilitate such an arrangement.

A connection system detachably and mechanically connects an electronic component to a holder. The connection system has at least one stop element that provides a stopping position for the electronic component that is moved in relation to the holder. In the stopping position, the electronic component can be moved by a pivoting movement between an open position, wherein the electronic component can be separated from the holder, and an end position, wherein the detachable, mechanical connection is closed.

Connection system

An apparatus for unlocking an electronic component to be inserted into a retaining device, in particular, a transceiver, and held in the retaining device by a locking element, such as a tongue. The apparatus has an unlocking device is integrally formed with the component housing or with a part thereof. The unlocking device is a rocker formed as part of the component and has an unlocking part for moving the unlocking device into an operated position and for unlocking the locking element in that position. An integral reset spring, which can be a leaf or torsion spring, connects the rocker. The operating direction is at right angles to a removal or ejection direction of the component from the retaining device. Preferably, the unlocking device and the component are plastic. The unlocking apparatus allows easily controllable removal of a component, is of simple construction, and can be produced cost-effectively.

The invention pertains to housing for receiving a component which can be connected to the housing in a pluggable manner, in particular an optoelectronic transceiver, the housing having at least one pressing spring, which is deflected when the component is inserted. According to the invention it is provided that the at least one pressing spring ( ) tapers in its width in the direction of the interior of the housing. It is preferably of a trapezoidal design. Higher spring forces can be realized with it and it is ensured that a component which is plugged into the housing can be removed from the housing in a safe and reliable manner during unlocking of the housing.

A connector for a plug-connected electrical component, in particular, an optoelectronic transceiver, includes a package having fastening pins for fastening the package on a printed-circuit board, the fastening pins to be connected to the board in a press-fit. Preferably, the fastening pins are U-shaped and have two resilient legs able to move toward each other. Each of the two legs has external serrations, particularly, barbs. The package is a one-part package and has a clearance on a bottom side for accommodating a plug, already fastened to the board, when the package is connected to the board. The package couples the component to the board. Also provided is a method of mounting the package by first soldering the plug for the electronic component to the board and testing the plug. Then, the package is fitted onto the board accommodating the plug with the fastening pins connected to the board in a press-fit.

The holder is suitable for detachably fixing a component in an operational end position. The holder has an upper side on which the component is moved into the end position along a mounting direction. The holder comprises an ejector that has at least one spring which exerts an elastic force on the component in the final position. The spring force acts in a direction opposite the mounting direction.

An apparatus for unlocking an electronic component to be inserted into a retaining device, in particular a transceiver, and held in the retaining device by a locking element, such as a tongue. The apparatus has an unlocking device is integrally formed with the component housing or with a part thereof. The unlocking device is a rocker formed as part of the component and has an unlocking part for moving the unlocking device into an operated position and for unlocking the locking element in that position. An integral reset spring, which can be a leaf or torsion spring, connects the rocker.

The unlocking apparatus allows easily controllable removal of a component, is of simple construction, and can be produced cost-effectively.

A detachable connecting system includes a component and a mount having cooperating guides which effect a defined movement of the component in a mounting direction into a connecting position when a connection is established. An underside of the component has a locking element which engages another corresponding locking element in the connecting position. The other locking element is disposed at a free end of a resilient tongue disposed below the component. In the connecting position, an actuation region of the free end of the tongue is accessible from a front end of the component.

Detachable connecting system

A connecting system for detachably mechanically connecting an electronic component to a support is described. The connecting system has fixed rails that are configured on the longitudinal sides of the support. When the connecting system is assembled, at least two grips on each longitudinal side of the electronic component grip under the fixing rails. Each fixing rail has at least one hole allowing the grips to be introduced vertically in relation to the support, in a direction Y, with the grips advancing in direction Z. The holes are configured in such a way that the advancing grips can pass through them during assembly without leaving the support.

A releasable mounting device includes an electronic component having terminal contact surfaces disposed in at least two rows on an outer side. Corresponding contacts of a terminal part are correspondingly disposed in two contact rows. The contacts of each contact row can be moved jointly away from the outer side by an actuating element. During a mounting operation, the contact rows of the terminal part, which are located one behind the other as seen in a mounting direction, are moved away from the outer side one after the other by the component, beginning with a front contact row. When an end mounting position is reached, the contact rows of the terminal part pass into electrical contact with the terminal contact surfaces.
