History of Oculink Development

With the development of electronic technology, more and more electronic devices have been widely used. Connectors, also known as connectors, plugs, and sockets, generally refer to electrical connectors. A device that connects two active devices to transmit current or signals. The function of a connector is relatively simple, usually used to bridge communication between blocked or isolated circuits within a circuit, thereby allowing current to flow and ending the predetermined function of the circuit. Connectors are indispensable components in electronic devices, and the methods and structures of connectors are ever-changing. There are various methods of connectors according to different application policies, frequencies, powers, and environments.

The Oculink connector is a special type of connector, also known as the optical copper link, which belongs to the PCIe interface and can be used to connect a PCIe board card to the motherboard or an external independent graphics card to a laptop. To ensure the stability of the connection of the oculink connector, a latch is generally installed on the oculink connector, such as two protruding hook shaped components. When the oculink connector is connected to other devices or interfaces, the latch automatically forms a lock during the connection process. When it is necessary to unplug the connected device or interface, the first step is to touch the lock of the latch before it can be smoothly disconnected.

In existing technology, the unlocking operation of the oculink connector generally involves the operator pressing the hook shaped component back into the card slot with both hands, removing the lock, and then unplugging the connected device. However, considering the board or other application environments, the orientation of the oculink connector is generally narrow, and there are many electronic components around it that are unevenly distributed. The operating space is very limited, and the operator may not be able to extend their fingers into the space where the oculink connector is located, or even if they can, they may not be able to roll or operate smoothly. Therefore, the method of unlocking the oculink connector in existing technology is very cumbersome and inconvenient to operate, with high requirements for installation space around the oculink connector.

Therefore, how to conveniently and conveniently end the unlocking operation of the oculink connector and reduce the space demand of the oculink connector around the board is a technical problem that needs to be urgently solved by technicians in this field.
