Abstract: In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, an optical transceiver includes a printed-circuit board, an optical module that converts a received optical signal into an electrical signal and converts an electrical signal into a optical signal, and transmits the converted signal, the optical module being mounted on the printed-circuit board, and an edge connector that inputs and outputs the electrical signal, the edge connector being mounted on the printed-circuit board. In the optical transceiver, at least an edge portion of the edge connector is formed in a direction roughly perpendicular to the optical signal transmitted/received at the optical module, and the printed-circuit board is removably connected to the host substrate through the edge connector in such a manner that the printed-circuit is roughly perpendicular to the host substrate to be connected.

Abstract: There is provided a printed circuit board in which a PCB and an FPC can be readily located, a solder connection structure and method between a printed circuit board and a flexible printed circuit board. The printed circuit board 1 includes a plurality of pads 2 for mounting a flexible printed circuit board, wherein a solder resist 3 is formed on the surface of the printed circuit board so as to expose the pads 2 and convex portions are formed by insulation print layers 4 around the pads 2.

Abstract: A structure can easily prevent multiple reflection of a stray light component within an optical transmission and reception module. The optical transmission and reception module using an optical waveguide includes a module package including the optical waveguide, an optical transmission element and an optical reception element. A coat layer is formed at least on inner surface of the module package and back surface of a package lid and formed of an optically absorptive material for absorbing stray light which is not coupled with the optical waveguide.
