Abstract

A housing structure for pluggable transceiver module includes a case being internally provided with a plurality of vertical partitioning plates, and having first protrusions provided on an upper and a lower side of a free edge at an open end of the case, and second protrusions provided on two opposite sides of a free end of each of the partitioning plates at the open end of the case; a plurality of first elastic-leaf members being clamped to the free edge of the case and having retaining holes engaged with the first protrusions; and a plurality of second elastic-leaf members being clamped to the free ends of the partitioning plates and having retaining holes engaged with the second protrusions. Therefore, the first and second elastic-leaf members are easily and securely assembled to the case and the partitioning plates via the first and second protrusions, respectively, without the need of spot welding.

Claims

1. A housing structure for pluggable transceiver module, comprising:

a case having an open end and being internally provided with a plurality of vertical partitioning plates to define a plurality of receiving zones therein, and each of the receiving zones having an open end corresponding to the open end of the case;

a plurality of first protrusions being provided on an upper and a lower side of a free edge at the open end of the case, and a plurality of second protrusions being provided on two opposite sides of a free end of each of the partitioning plates at the open end of the case;

a plurality of first elastic-leaf members for assembling to the free edge of the case;

each of the first elastic-leaf members having an end formed into a clamping section for clamping to the free edge of the case, and the clamping section being provided with a plurality of retaining holes for engaging with the first protrusions; and

a plurality of second elastic-leaf members for assembling to the free ends of the partitioning plates;

each of the second elastic-leaf members having an end formed into a clamping section for clamping to the free ends of the partitioning plates, and the clamping section being provided with a plurality of retaining holes for engaging with the second protrusions.

2. The housing structure for pluggable transceiver module as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first protrusions are provided on the upper side and the lower side of the free edge of the case in one-to-one correspondence.

3. The housing structure for pluggable transceiver module as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first protrusions are provided on the upper side and the lower side of the free edge of the case in staggered relation.

4. The housing structure for pluggable transceiver module as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second protrusions are provided on the two opposite sides of the free end of each of the partitioning plates in one-to-one correspondence.

5. The housing structure for pluggable transceiver module as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second protrusions are provided on the two opposite sides of the free end of each of the partitioning plates in staggered relation.
