  • Integrated assembly package mounting clip
    Patent number: 10838156
    Abstract: A mounting clip can be placed and secured over the exterior surfaces of a package of an integrated optical assembly. The mounting clip includes a top panel, end clips that curl and extend down from end edges of the top panel, an interference tab that extends up from the top panel, and cap clips that curl and extend up from the top panel. The mounting clip is dimensioned such that bends in the end clips press and secure against exterior side surfaces of the package of the integrated assembly. Thus, the mounting clip can be secured to the package of the integrated assembly using an interference or friction fit. A cap on a fiber optic cable that extends from the package can be curled around and secured between the interference tab and cap clips of the mounting clip to secure it during surface mounting.
