    摘要: An optical module includes: an optical sub-assembly; and a flexible substrate including an insulating film, an interconnection pattern, and a spacer layer, the flexible substrate being connected to the optical sub-assembly. The insulating film has some projections, the projections protruding from a basic area in a first direction, the projections being arranged in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the insulating film having a flat shape with a recess between an adjacent pair of the projections. The interconnection pattern includes some pads in the basic area on a first surface of the insulating film, the pads being arranged in the second direction. The pads include some first pads adjacent to the respective projections, the pads including at least one second pad adjacent to the recess. The spacer layer is on the first surface and at each of the protrusions.

    摘要: The relay board includes a first end face opposed to and fixed to the first surface of the conductive block, a second end face opposite to the first end face, and a top and a bottom defining thickness of the relay board. The top has a slope at a position closer to the first end face than the second end face. The slope inclines such that the thickness decreases in a direction from the first end face to the second end face. The conductor layers include a signal pattern on the top with part of the signal pattern disposed on the slope, and a first ground pattern extending from the bottom to each of the first end face and the second end face. The signal wire has one end bonded to the signal lead pin and another end bonded to the signal pattern on the slope.

    摘要: An insulation film has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other and has a first portion and a second portion extending in a direction opposite to each other from a central portion. The optical subassembly is connected to the flexible printed circuit board at the central portion with the stem opposed to the second surface. The flexible printed circuit board curves with the second surface at least the central portion facing outward. The printed circuit board intervenes between edges of the first portion and the second portion and is connected to the flexible printed circuit board. The first portion and the second portion of the flexible printed circuit board curves in a shape to avoid mutual contact and three-dimensionally intersect with each other, and the first portion and the second portion on the second surface are opposed to the printed circuit board.
