Small form-factor pluggable transceiver cage
A small form-factor pluggable metal cage has two sidewalls, a sidewall cover, a top plate, a soleplate and a rear cover, which are made of a single piece of metal plate. Two types of legs extend from the cage, one being compliant type for extending through holes defined in a printed circuit board and the other being piggy type abutting against the board. The compliant legs have an elongate body having a free end offset in a first direction. The free end forms a lateral projection in a second direction opposite to the first direction whereby the compliant legs serve as broad locks preventing the cage from disengaging from the board during the course of reflowing, while the piggy legs serve as standoffs for separating the cage from the board.
