Title

(EN) PLUG AND RECEPTACLE ASSEMBLY HAVING A THERMALLY CONDUCTIVE INTERFACE

(FR) ENSEMBLE PRISE MÂLE ET FEMELLE AYANT UNE INTERFACE THERMOCONDUCTRICE

Abstract

(EN) A plug and receptacle assembly (100) comprises a plug assembly (102) having a pluggable connector (108) and a receptacle assembly (104) having an assembly housing (116) that includes a communication port (105) for receiving the pluggable connector. The plug assembly includes a thermal interface region (120) coupled to the pluggable connector (108). The thermal interface region comprises a series of spaced apart transfer plates that extend parallel to each other. The receptacle assembly includes a heat sink (118) coupled to the assembly housing (116), the heat sink comprising a series of spaced apart transfer plates that define a series of plate-receiving slots of the heat sink. The transfer plates of the thermal interface region are received by the plate-receiving slots of the heat sink such that the transfer plates of the thermal interface region transfer thermal energy generated within the pluggable connector to the transfer plates of the heat sink.

(FR) L'invention concerne un ensemble prise mâle et femelle (100) qui comprend un ensemble prise mâle (102) ayant un connecteur enfichable (108) et un ensemble prise femelle (104) ayant un boîtier d'ensemble (116) qui comprend un port de communication (105) destiné à recevoir le connecteur enfichable. L'ensemble prise mâle comprend une région d'interface thermique (120) couplée au connecteur enfichable (108). La région d'interface thermique comprend une série de plaques de transfert espacées qui s'étendent parallèlement les unes par rapport aux autres. L'ensemble prise femelle comprend un dissipateur de chaleur (118) couplé au boîtier d'ensemble (116), le dissipateur de chaleur comprenant une série de plaques de transfert espacées qui définissent une série de fentes de réception de plaque du dissipateur de chaleur. Les plaques de transfert de la région d'interface thermique sont reçues par les fentes de réception de plaque du dissipateur de chaleur de telle sorte que les plaques de transfert de la région d'interface thermique transfèrent l'énergie thermique produite dans le connecteur enfichable aux plaques de transfert du dissipateur de chaleur.
