Abstract

See full text

A stubless optoelectronic device receptacle for connecting multifiber optical ribbon cables to optoelectronic semiconductor components is provided. The optoelectronic device receptacle consists of a receptacle alignment block portion contained in the receptacle body. The alignment block has a connector coupling surface for engaging the fiber optic ribbon connector. An optoelectronic semiconductor component is fixedly mounted to the connector coupling surface of the alignment block and a flexible circuit is then mounted to the electronic semiconductor component to provide power to the component. In the preferred embodiment, the alignment block contains mechanical features which perform precision alignment of the block to a connector attached to the fiber ribbon cable.
