Optical device, enclosure and method of fabricating

摘要

An enclosure for an optical communications device (210) having a lid portion (214) and a base portion (212). Alignment members (222) adapted to interface with an optical connector (221) are formed on the lid portion (214). The lid portion (214) is affixed to the base portion (212) with a portion of the communications components (217, 219) therebetween. Multiple base portions (212) formed in a unitary piece of material and multiple lid portions (214) formed in another unitary piece of material can be affixed to one another, and then separated into individual devices (210) to minimize time spent aligning each base (212) and lid portion (214).
