Optisches Sende-/Empfangsmodul mit internem Lichtwellenleiter

摘要

The invention relates to a module (10) essentially comprised of a module housing (1) into which a lead frame (3), on which an electro-optical converter (5) is mounted, is inserted and the interior of the module housing (1) is filled by a transparent casting compound. A plug receptacle (7) is shaped on the outer housing wall and comprises a defined outer contour. An optical waveguide piece (6) is located inside the plug receptacle (7). Said optical waveguide piece, starting from the surroundings of an outer surface of the plug receptacle (7), extends through the inside of the plug receptacle (7) and a housing opening until it reaches the inside of the housing, and is optically coupled to the electro-optical converter (5). An optical waveguide plug (20) that interacts with the module (10) is provided with a socket-shaped plug section (27) that corresponds to the plug receptacle (7).
