Abstract
Enables a large number of pluggable-array connectors to be used with a multi-chip module (MCM) by using a connector technique that does not require a significant amount of available surface area on a module. The array connectors provide a large increase in the input/output (I/O) capacity of a module. Each of the connectors has a receptacle supported by a frame around the module, and short flexible transmission lines connect the receptacle to the module. A plug connects a cluster (array) of external transmission lines, which may be optical and/or electrical transmission lines operating in parallel. Optical transmission lines may have optical/electrical transducers mounted on either the frame or module. Frame mounting of optical transducers with a connector receptacle enables a connector to transfer only electrical signals between the connector and the module, regardless of a mix of optical and electrical transmission lines to the same connector plug.
