ABSTRACT:
A receptacle optical module including a fixed housing adapted to be fixed to a mother board (substrate); an optical semiconductor assembly having an optical semiconductor chip for performing conversion between an optical signal and an electrical signal; a plurality of lead pins fixed to the fixed housing for mechanically fixing the fixed housing to the mother board and electrically connecting the optical semiconductor chip to the mother board; a movable housing pivotably provided on the fixed housing for supporting the optical semiconductor assembly; and a receptacle mechanism for detachably holding an optical connector in the movable housing so as to optically connect the optical semiconductor chip to the optical connector. With this configuration, the movable housing for supporting the optical semiconductor assembly is pivotably provided on the fixed housing, so that the optical connector can be easily attached/detached, and possible bending of the lead pins due to attachment/detachment of the optical connector is suppressed.
