ABSTRACT:
This invention provides an optical module with a hot-pluggable configuration in which a mechanical stress induced by the difference of the thermal co-efficient of the wiring substrate and the housing of the module, whereby the reliability of the module is enhanced. The optical module of the invention comprises tow optical sub-assemblies12, 14,a wiring substrate18,a housing20,and holder22.The housing includes a front space in which the sub-assemblies are enclosed and a rear space enclosing the wiring substrate. The holder has a resilient portion for pressing the wiring substrate against the rear space of the housing. A stopper is provided on the partition wall between the front space and the rear space of the housing, to which the wiring substrate is pressed.
