An connector assembly () includes an insulative housing () having a main portion () and a tongue portion () extending forwardly from the main portion, a cavity () defined in the tongue portion; a plurality of terminals () retained in the insulative housing; an optical module () accommodated in the cavity, said optical module having a base portion and a plurality of lenses combined with the base portion; and a biasing member () having a holder (), an elastic element () accommodated in the holder and at least one post assembled to the holder and urged by the elastic element so as to push the optical module forwardly.

Connector assembly with floatable optical termination

A connector includes an insulating seat defining a receiving cavity opening forwards, an optical module movably received in the receiving cavity and an actuating device. The optical module defines lenses at a front mating face thereof and a first touch portion at a rear face thereof. The actuating device is located behind the rear face of the optical module to urge the optical module moving forwards. The actuating device includes a spring coil and a connecting member defining a second touch portion which is urged by the spring coil to contact with the first touch portion. One of the first touch portion and the second touch portion provides a vertex and the other provides a planar so as to arrive a vertex-to-planar contact relationship between the first touch portion and the second touch portion.
