ABSTRACT:
A connector is disclosed that includes a housing and a module assembly disposed inside the housing. The module assembly includes a semiconductor element, a light receiving element, a light emitting element, a positioning plate in which a positioning hole is formed, a three-dimensional optical path component mounted on the positioning plate, and a printed circuit board on which the semiconductor element and the positioning plate are mounted. The three-dimensional optical path component includes a positioning pin and a projection. The light receiving element and the light emitting element are mounted on the positioning plate. The three-dimensional optical path component is positioned such that the positioning pin of the three-dimensional optical path component is fitted in the positioning hole formed in the positioning plate and the projection of the three-dimensional optical path component abuts an upper face of the positioning plate.
