ABSTRACT:
A connector for interconnecting electronic components within a device, such as an optical transceiver module, is disclosed. In one embodiment the connector utilizes compressive engagement to electrically connect an optical subassembly to a printed circuit board within the optical transceiver. In one embodiment, the electrical connector includes a body that mechanically mounts on the printed circuit board. The body defines a plurality of slots, each having a first portion of a conductive finger positioned therein. The first portion of each finger is arcuately shaped and extends from the slot. The connector is positioned such that each finger compressively engages and electrically connects with a corresponding contact pad on the optical subassembly when the optical transceiver is assembled. A second portion of each finger extends from a face of the connector body and electrically connects with corresponding contact pads on the printed circuit board, electrically connecting it with the optical subassembly.
