<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical module in which optical coupling loss can be reduced when an external force is applied to an optical connector. <P>SOLUTION: The optical module 1 is equipped with an optical receptacle 3 having a connector reception part 7 and a photoelectric conversion unit 12 is arranged in the receptacle 3. A flange part 23 is provided on the circumferential surface of the photoelectric conversion unit 12. An O-ring 24 is interposed between the photoelectric conversion unit 12 and optical receptacle 3. The photoelectric conversion unit 12 is clamped to the optical receptacle 3 by a holer 26 on the opposite side of the flange part 23 from the O-ring 24. Further, the photoelectric conversion unit 12 is swingable through the O-ring 24 at right angles to the axis of the connector reception part 7 and can spontaneously return to its initial state from a swing state. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI |
