Abstract

An optical connector includes a printed circuit board (PCB), an optical-electric coupling element, and a jumper detachably attached to the optical-electric coupling element. The optical-electric coupling element is positioned on the PCB. The optical-electric coupling element includes at least two first coupling lenses and a sloped surface. The optical-electric coupling element defines a stepped receiving cavity in its sidewall. A bottom surface of the stepped receiving cavity forms at least two second coupling lenses. The jumper is detachably inserted into the stepped receiving cavity, and the jumper has at least two receiving holes receiving at least two optical fibers. Each optical fiber is optically aligned with a respective second coupling lens. Each second coupling lens is optically aligned with a respective first coupling lens via the sloped surface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An optical connector, comprising:
a printed circuit board (PCB) comprising a supporting surface, at least one laser diode, and at least one photo diode, the at least one laser diode and the at least one photo diode positioned on the supporting surface;
an optical-electric coupling element positioned on the PCB and receiving the at least one laser diode and the at least one photo diode, the optical-electric coupling element comprising at least two first cou…
