Optical module and optical transmission module

摘要

An optical module is provided in which at least one of a surface light emitting device and a surface light receiving device is mounted on a positioning component on which optical fibers are positioned and mounted. The positioning component is made of an insulating resin and a plurality of lead frames that provide electrical connection are molded integrally with the positioning component. Each of the lead frames is flat plate and the plate surface of each of the lead frames serves as a first electrical connection surface and an edge face of each of the lead frames serves as a second electrical connection surface. The interconnection structure is simple and linear and is advantageous in high-frequency signal transmission.
