ABSTRACT:
A conductive plastic optical-electronic interface incorporates a rigid double-sided printed circuit board (PCB) for small compact size design with surface mount technology in a small sixteen pin dual-in-line housing with a protruding receptacle for a ferrule at the end of a fiber-optic cable. The conductive plastic housing is injection molded in three parts using a mixture of conductive fibers and plastic chosen for RFI/EMI shielding. The PCB slides into slots in a frame for the housing for mechanical rigidity and a base and lid seal the PCB in the housing. A rubber cup may be placed over the receptacle to seal against environmental conditions while soldering and cleaning the dual-in-line sixteen pin package to a system printed circuit board. The design is suitable for all the bit rates using single or multimode fiber and applicable to all wavelengths.
