Abstract:

The subject disclosure relates to improved integrated connector module (ICM) designs for Ethernet applications. Some aspects provide an improved integrated connector module transformer (ICMt), including a wafer configured to hold a plurality of toroid elements, wherein the wafer is comprised of two or more mechanically coupled wafer portions. The ICMt can include one or more Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) fingers that are configured to contact a ground pad of a printed circuit board (PCB) in order to provide a low-inductance connection between the ICMt and the ground pad of the PCB.

Abstract:

The subject disclosure relates improved common mode choke (CMC) and integrated connector module (ICM) designs for Ethernet applications. Some aspects provide an improved CMC component, including an upper chassis element having a first plurality of comb structures vertically protruding from an edge of the upper chassis element, and a lower chassis element comprising a second plurality of comb structures vertically protruding from an edge of the lower chassis element, the second plurality of comb structures configured to interlock with the first plurality of comb structures to form an enclosure when the upper chassis element is mechanically coupled with the lower chassis element.
