ABSTRACT:
An optical subassembly is used in connection with an optoelectronic package with a shaped lead configuration. The lead configuration enables the shaped leads to electrically connect with through-hole vias defined in a printed circuit board while minimizing space requirements and providing stress relief for the leads. In one embodiment, an optical subassembly is disclosed, comprising a header containing optoelectronic components, and a plurality of conductive leads that are in operable communication with the optoelectronic components. Each lead includes a straight portion extending from a surface of the header, an end portion oriented so as to be received by a through-hole via defined in a printed circuit board, and a shaped portion interposed between the straight and end portions and having at least one bend defined in a first plane. The optical subassembly further includes a clip assembly having a plurality of cavities that each receive a corresponding one of the leads.
