ABSTRACT:
A receptacle assembly includes a guide frame, a heat sink and a conductive gasket. The guide frame includes a top wall and defines an interior chamber that is configured to receive a mating connector. The top wall defines an opening that provides access to the interior chamber. The heat sink is held in the interior chamber such that at least an upper portion of the heat sink produces through the opening and a lower portion of the heat sink engages the mating connector when the mating connector is loaded in the interior chamber. The conductive gasket is held in the interior chamber between the guide frame and the heat sink. The gasket is configured to be compressed between the guide frame and the heat sink when the mating connector is loaded into the interior chamber such that the gasket provides a conductive path between the heat sink and the guide frame.
