ABSTRACT:
A low-cost, high-speed micro-connector replacement for current electrical inter-connects and intra-connects on printed circuit boards is provided. The invention achieves its goal by including an optical transmitter module or optical receiver module mounted in close proximity to a modulator used to encode optical signals from electrical impulses or decode optical signals to electrical impulses. The micro-connector is mounted on a PCB in alignment with the transmitting or receiving modules and provides appropriate alignment and stop positioning of an optical fiber used for optical transmitting between transmitting/receiving modules.
