A package for an electrical/optical component includes an optical component (60) and one or more bridges (70, 71) of insulating material mounted in spaced relationship to the optical component (60). Electrical components are mounted on the bridge on a side opposite the optical component. Electrical connection from the electrical component to conductors on the side of the bridge facing the optical component (60) is made by plated through-hole connections extending through the bridge. Relatively short electrical connectors (73, 73', 75, 75') are employed to interconnect the optical component with conductors formed on the bridge and to connecting pins (54) extending from the package. |
