ABSTRACT:
A receptacle is provided that is suitable for use in smaller and larger format transceivers and that eliminates problems associated with electrically isolating the signal ground and chassis ground from each other. The receptacle is identical in shape to the receptacle currently used in the transceiver module, but the portion of the receptacle that comes into physical contact with metallic housing of the transceiver module is made of an electrically insulating material rather than metal so that no electrical current passes between the metallic portions of the receptacle and the metallic transceiver module housing. Thus, the signal ground of the TO header on which the transmitter or receiver package is based is electrically isolated from the chassis ground attached to the housing of the transceiver module. Because the shape of the receptacle is not altered from its current shape, the assembly process for assembling the transceiver module is not further complicated.
