ABSTRACT:
An optoelectronic module is seated onto a substrate connector by guiding the module along an initial path portion that is misaligned with respect to the mating direction defined by the substrate connector and further includes providing a positive pressure drive along an end path portion with sufficient force to secure the optoelectronic module to the substrate connector. Where the mating is via a pin-and-socket arrangement, the positive pressure drive requires sufficient force to push the main body of the module to ensure entry of the pins into the sockets. Typically, there is a conversion from force applied in one direction to module motion in the orthogonal direction. However, a rocking cam embodiment is also described.
