ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR CAGE ASSEMBLY, ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR, AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An electrical connector cage assembly, comprising:
- a connector casing, forming a first insertion slot and having an outer side wall, the outer side wall having a first window, the first window being connected to the first insertion slot;
a heat-dissipating structure, disposed on the outer side wall and comprising a heat pipe, the heat pipe being disposed outside the outer side wall and having a first heat-absorbing section corresponding to the first window, the first heat-absorbing section extending parallel to the outer side wall and partially entering the first insertion slot through the first window; and
an elastic attaching part, engaged to the connector casing so as to elastically clamp the heat-dissipating structure between the elastic attaching part and the outer side wall, the first heat-absorbing section being movable relative to the first window.

Abstract
An electrical connector cage assembly includes a connector casing, a heat-dissipating structure, and an elastic attaching part. The connector casing forms an insertion slot and has an outer side wall. The outer side wall has a window connected to the insertion slot. The heat-dissipating structure is disposed on the outer side wall and includes a heat pipe. The heat pipe is disposed outside the outer side wall and has a heat-absorbing section corresponding to the window. The heat-absorbing section extends parallel to the outer side wall and partially enters the insertion slot through the window. The elastic attaching part is engaged to the connector casing so that the heat-dissipating structure is elastically clamped by and between the elastic attaching part and the outer side wall. The heat-absorbing section can move relative to the window.
