Abstract
A connector assembly includes a cage having at least one inserting passageway and a heat sink frame positioned above the inserting passageway, the heat sink module is assembled to the heat sink frame, the heat sink module includes a movable plate, a heat sink, a pressure-applying spring and a supporting spring; the movable plate has a pushed portion which enters into the inserting passageway, the pressure-applying spring is provided between the movable plate and the heat sink, the supporting spring upwardly and elastically supports the heat sink; the movable plate is capable of moving relative to the heat sink frame between a first position which is in the front and a second position which is in the rear, the heat sink is capable of moving relative to the heat sink frame between a release position which is in the up and a contact position which is in the down. A pluggable module is capable of inserting into the inserting passageway of the cage along an inserting direction which is from front to rear so as to push the pushed portion of the movable plate and make the movable plate rearwardly move from the first position to the second position, in turn the movable plate brings the pressure-applying spring to move to actuate the heat sink from the release position which is in the up to move to the contact position which is in the down to contact a surface of the pluggable module.
