Abstract: The invention concerns an opto-electronic connector system with a plug 1 and a receptacle 2. The plug 1 includes a tube shaped housing 3 with an area for introduction or output of an optical signal as well as at least one opto-electronic and/or electro-optical transformer 8a, 8b and a therewith associated optical element 7 for beam guidance. Beyond this, electrical contacts 10 for input or output of an electrical signal are provided, which are connected with the one or more transformers (8a, 8b) via amplifier stage 9a, 9b. The tube shaped housing 3 is preferably in the form a cylinder or truncated cone, which engages in a corresponding recess 4 in the receptacle 2 when in the connected condition. The receptacle 2 is adapted for integration on a circuit board. The opto-electronic connector system has been found to be particularly small in its external dimensions.

Abstract: An arrangement for coupling light into or coupling light out of waveguides includes a base plate with thereon attached mirror mount and reflecting surface, at least one waveguide, as well as a holding device for holding optical or optoelectronic components. The mirror mount and the holding device contain alignment marks, which snap together so that an alignment occurs in a direction (x-direction) that is parallel to the longitudinal extension of the waveguide. The holding device and the base plate contain further alignment marks, which ensure an alignment in a direction (y-direction) that is perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the waveguide.
