ABSTRACT:
An electro-optical transducer connector assembly (10) including an electro-optical transducer (15), a transducer housing (25) having a connector portion (45) that extends through an opening (21) in a wall (12) of the enclosure (11) for an electrical apparatus (8), such as a computer. Transducer assembly (15) preferably is a transceiver which includes a laser diode/photo detector assembly (19) and a printed wiring assembly (17). An optical channel (23) having two fiber optic members (23a, 23b) is releasably mechanically connected by a first connector portion (43) and a second connector portion (45) telescoped inside the first connector portion (43) so as to optically align the fiber optic members (23a, 23b) with the transducer (15). The connector assembly (10) has a small diameter snout (47) which allows the opening (12) in the electromagnetically shielded apparatus (8) to be minimized, and the transducer housing (25) positions the active radiation generating elements of the transducer (15) at a stand-off distance (X) away from the wall opening (12) to reduce EMI as a result of radiation generated by both the transducer assembly (15) and the electrical circuit (13) of the electrical apparatus (8).
