Premolded cavity for optoelectronic device

摘要

An optoelectronic device is disclosed. The optoelectronic device may be employed as a single or multi-channel opto-coupler that electrically isolates one circuit from another circuit. The opto-coupler may include one or more premolded cavities with a light-coupling medium contained therein. Walls of the one or more premolded cavities advantageously help shape the light-coupling medium during manufacture, therefore, resulting in a light path with controlled shape and dimensions.

主权项

1. An optoelectronic device, comprising:
a light source configured to emit light according to electrical signals received from one or more input leads; a light detector configured to detect light emitted by the light source and convert the detected light into electrical signals for transmission by one or more output leads; a single conductive base layer that supports or includes the one or more input leads and the one or more output leads; and at least one insulating feature molded on or to the base layer, wherein the at least one insulating feature is configured to at least partially retain a liquefied light-coupling medium and contribute to forming a shape of the liquefied light-coupling medium that establishes an optical path between the light source and light detector.
