  • Patent number: 7101089
    Abstract: A jack module for optical transmission has, on a holder body into which a specified plug is to be inserted, an optical semiconductor device for inputting and outputting an optical signal via the plug. The optical semiconductor device is so constructed that a light-emitting chip and a light-receiving chip are mounted on a one-side surface of a lead frame, where the light-emitting chip and the light-receiving chip are integrally molded with a light-pervious resin. The surface of the lead frame is disposed so as to be inclined with respect to a center axis of the plug inserted into the holder body. The jack module for optical transmission is capable of easily performing communications in the half-duplex method, simple in construction and manufacturable at small size and low cost.
