ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an electronic component which includes a removable planar card having a light emitting diode (LED). The electronic component also includes an attachment flange having a first face and a second face substantially parallel to a removable planar card face, and a bushing installed in a hole in the attachment flange. The bushing includes an inner member having a head, a threaded shaft extending from the head. The inner member is inserted through the flange hole such that the head rests on the flange first face. The bushing also includes a sleeve having an threaded inner diameter that is threaded onto the shaft such that the attachment flange is clamped between the inner member and the sleeve and a bottom end of the sleeve is suspended over the LED. Finally, the electronic component includes an optical transmission line inserted into a through hole in the inner member.
