OPTICAL MODULE

摘要

An electrical interface includes an insulating body, first electrodes, and second electrodes. The insulating body includes a first front edge surface and a second front edge surface facing in a direction along a transmission direction of an optical signal at an optical interface and having different heights. The first electrode and the second electrode are provided on the insulating body so as to have a thickness from the first front edge surface and the second front edge surface in a direction of the height. A first flexible wiring board and a second flexible wiring board include a first area and a second area extending in directions along the first front edge surface and the second front edge surface, respectively, of the insulating body, and include, in the first area and the second area, first pads and second pads electrically connected with the first electrodes and the second electrodes.
