The cage has a receiving space and a wall constituting the receiving space, the wall is formed with a window which is communicated with the receiving space and two latching plates which are provided to two sides of the window and extend away from the receiving space, each latching plate is integrally formed with a latching protrusion, the latching protrusion has a guiding portion and a latching portion, a protruding amount of the guiding portion from the latching plate gradually increases as a distance of the guiding portion from the receiving space decreases, the latching portion is positioned to a tip end surface of the guiding portion. The heat sink has a base plate, in a process that the heat sink is assembled to the cage, the base plate pushes against the guiding portions of the latching protrusions of the two latching plates to make the two latching plates elastically move, after the base plate passes over the guiding portions of the latching protrusions of the two latching plates, the latching portions of the latching protrusions of the two latching plates latch with the base plate.
