Abstract: The invention concerns an integrated intermediate ferrule comprising an optical port and optoelectronic circuits functionally interposed between the optical port and an electric port. To avoid having to place a reflecting mirror causing optical losses, the integrated circuit for detection and optoelectronic conversion is arranged perpendicular to a rectilinear path of the light signal in the ferrule. Such an arrangement eliminates the need for a mirror and makes it easy to obtain accurate setting of the alignment of the optical port and the optoelectronic conversion circuits and finally provides efficient cooling of said optoelectronic conversion circuits.

Abstract: To resolve the problems of the manufacturing costs of an optoelectronic connector, an optoelectronic coupling integrated circuit chip (4) is mounted directly (12) into a package (1) of the connector. This package has an internal shielding metallization and metallizations (11) connected by microconnection techniques to pads (10) of the integrated circuit. The integrated circuit has laser diodes (8) on its surface also connected (13) to the pads (14) of this integrated circuit. These laser diodes are spaced out with respect to one another by a distance corresponding to a distance (21) between the optical fiber terminations (17, 20) in a standardized optical connector (16). The number of elements of the connector is reduced whereas, at the same time, its efficiency in terms of electrical consumption and in terms of transmission quality of a signal is improved.

Abstract: In order to switch, especially aerials, between two channels while at the same time ensuring pressure contact with a sufficiently wide contact area, a connector (1) is made which includes a resilient switching blade (3) provided with a side arm (4). This side arm (4) ensures linear contact with a pin (7) of another connector, especially a coaxial connector (70). This improvement means that such a connector is simple to use, to mount on a printed circuit.
