  • Optoelectronic surface-mountable module and optoelectronic coupling unit
    Patent number: 6550982
    Abstract: An optoelectronic module is disclosed, which can be connected optically and electrically in a simply way. The optoeletronic module consists of a SMD-housing (1) for the electrical connection and a connector (5), on which a MT-plug is fitted, for the optical connection. The SMD-housing is assigned to the MT-plug. It includes a plug connector (5), which contains the optical/electrical interface and is positively fixed in the housing.

  • Optoelectronic surface-mountable module and optoelectronic coupling unit
    Publication number: 20020021871
    Abstract: An optoelectronic surface-mountable module includes an optoelectronic component mounted on a transparent substrate. The optoelectronic component is connected to internal electrical connections which are coupled via electrical leads to external electrical connections. The external electrical connections define a light entry or exit opening. The external electrical connections are formed by a BGA, a lead frame or a plastic support with through contacts. An optical waveguide can be coupled to a circuit board of an optoelectronic coupling unit containing the module.
