ABSTRACT:
An apparatus enables an optical fiber mounted through a hole in one side of a substrate to couple optical signals to and from an optoelectronic component mounted on the other side of the substrate. A connector is formed using the above apparatus by adding electrical terminals which connect to wiring paths on the substrate and to the optoelectronic component mounted thereon. In one connector arrangement, the electrical terminals are mounted orthogonal to the optical fiber. In another connector arrangement, the electrical terminals are mounted essentially in-line with the optical fiber. Both connector arrangements can accommodate one or more optical fibers and connect to one or more electrical terminals.
