A transceiver module ( ) having a release mechanism includes a connector assembly ( ), a driving device ( ), and a pull tab ( ). The connector assembly includes a tab ( ) for being received in a hole ( ) of a bendable portion ( ) of a receptacle ( ), which receptacle receives the transceiver module therein. The driving device includes, a release member ( ) and a wedge member ( ). Both the pull tab and the wedge member are mechanically linked to the release member. When the pull tab is pulled outwardly, the release member rotates with respect to the connector assembly, driving the wedge member to press against the bendable portion of the receptacle, thus disengaging the tab from the hole. The transceiver module is then easily withdrawn from the receptacle. This arrangement allows the transceiver modules to be closely stacked together while still being readily accessible. This advantage decreases a stacking height of multiple transceiver modules.

Pluggable transceiver module having release mechanism

A small form factor pluggable transceiver module ( ) comprises an RJ connector ( ) with a robust interface, a printed circuit board assembly ( ), a cage ( ), a frame ( ) and a latch mechanism ( ). The RJ connector further includes a shielding shell ( ), a housing ( ) received in the shielding shell, an RJ contact module ( ) received in the housing, and an engaging clamp ( ). The RJ connector attaches to the printed circuit board assembly. The engaging clamp provides a stronger, more reliable mechanical connection between the printed circuit board assembly and the RJ connector.

RJ connector with robust connector assembly for transceiver module

A small form factor pluggable transceiver module ( ) comprises an RJ connector ( ), a printed circuit board assembly ( ), an engaging clamp ( ), a cage ( ), a frame ( ) and a latching mechanism ( ). The RJ connector attaches to the printed circuit board assembly. The engaging clamp engages both with the RJ connector and the printed circuit board assembly to strengthen the connection between the RJ connector and the printed circuit board assembly.
