An optoelectronic connector is provided which attaches an optical fiber to one portion of a base structure and provides a opening in which a photosensitive device or a light emitting device can be disposed. The device is movable within an opening of the base to permit active alignment between the photosensitive device and an optical fiber attached to the base of the connector. An alignment member is attached to the photosensitive device to facilitate its movement relative to the base during the act of alignment process. An adapter is disposed between the alignment member and the base to permit the alignment member to be rigidly and permanently attached to the base by resistance welding even though the materials of the alignment member and the base are incompatible with each other and not amenable for welding together. The adapter is attached to the base by connecting it in interference relation therewith.
