Abstract:
1. A receptacle assembly, comprising: a receptacle formed by walls joined to form an interior cavity configured to receive an electronic module, one of the walls having an opening therethrough; a heat sink mounted over the opening, the heat sink having an abutment surface located adjacent the opening and the abutment surface of the heat sink being configured to physically contact the receptacle; a groove provided by the heat sink and the groove circumscribes the engagement surface and is recessed with respect to the a plane formed by the abutment surface; a gasket surrounding the opening and disposed in the groove so that a portion of the gasket extends outward from the groove and beyond the plane so that the gasket is disposed between the receptacle and the heat sink adjacent the abutment surface, in order to reduce leakage of radiation from the opening; and when the module is inserted an engagement surface of the heat sink rests within the interior cavity of the receptacle at a level that interferes with an installation path of the module and the heat sink is movable outward by the module when installed and the gasket expands to maintain a seal between the heat sink and the receptacle; a gasket surrounding the opening and disposed between the receptacle and the heat sink adjacent the abutment surface, in order to reduce leakage of radiation from the opening.
