Abstract:
This invention relates to an optical transmitter, receiver or transceiver module, and more particularly, to an optoelectronic connector. The optoelectronic connector comprises: (1) a mounting structure; (2) an array of optoelectronic devices adapted to the mounting structure, the optoelectronic devices having at least a first end; (3) an array of optical elements, the array of optical elements having at least a first end; (4) the first end of the array of optical elements proximate to the first end of the array of optoelectronic devices in such a manner that one or more optical elements is positioned relative to one or more optoelectronic devices; and (5) a heat spreader passing along a surface of a head region of the mounting structure. The mounting structure may be a flexible printed circuit board. Thermal vias or heat pipes in the head region may transmit heat from the mounting structure to the heat spreader. The heat spreader may provide mechanical rigidity or stiffness to the heat region. In another embodiment, an electrical contact and ground plane may pass along a surface of the head region so as to provide an electrical contact path to the optoelectronic devices and limit electromagnetic interference. In yet another embodiment, a window may be formed in the head region of the mounting structure so as to provide access to the head spreader. Optoelectronic devices may be adapted to the head spreader in such a manner that the devices are accessible through the window in the mounting structure.
Abstract:
A component (20) and a fixing element (1) are provided with cooperating guides (10, 32) which when a connection is established effect a defined movement of the component (20) in the direction of assembly (A) as far as a connecting position (22).

Abstract:
An optical network unit having an environmentally sealed printed circuit board arrangement within a first compartment and a signal in/out arrangement in a second compartment. The compartments are provided by two housings. Instead of replacing individual circuit boards in the case of breakdown or malfunction, replacement of the whole of the printed circuit board arrangement is necessary thereby eliminating human error and minimizing downtime. Two housings provide the two compartments. These housings are preferably mounted upon a housing mount and a carrier for the optical network unit is also preferably mounted upon the housing mount. This housing and carrier arrangement simplifies assembly and disassembly of parts of the unit for maintenance and replacement purposes.

Abstract:
A connector of the invention is a connector capable of suppressing electrical crosstalk between optical devices, preferably performing the optical coupling of the optical devices and the electrical coupling by electric terminals. A first connector housing formed of a conductive resin is disposed with a first optical device accommodating part for accommodating a light receiving device. A second connector housing formed of a non-conductive resin is disposed with a second optical device accommodating part for accommodating a light emitting device and electric terminals. The coupling end faces of optical fibers are fixed to a plug connector and the plug connector is inserted into a plug connector fitting part. This insertion allows optical coupling of the optical fibers to the light emitting device and the light receiving device, and it allows electrical coupling of the above electric terminals to wires fixed to the plug connector. The first and second optical device accommodating parts are arranged so that their positions are displaced in the longitudinal direction of the optical fibers, whereby the electrical crosstalk between the light receiving device and the light emitting device is suppressed.
