Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An optical module which includes a housing having a placing portion and an optical input-output portion facing an optical input-output surface of a ferrule; a first fixing portion for fixing the ferrule to the housing in the direction of the Z-axis perpendicular to the placing portion; and a second fixing portion for fixing the ferrule to the housing in the direction of the Y-axis perpendicular to the optical input-output surface, wherein the second fixing portion can change states from the first state to the second state; the first fixing portion fixes the ferrule in the direction of the Z-axis, and does not fix the ferrule in the Z-axis direction when the first fixing portion is at a second position; and the first fixing portion moves from the second position to the first position when the second fixing portion changes its state to a specific state.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An optical module which combines a circuit board with an optical fiber through a ferrule, comprising: a housing comprising a placing portion on which the ferrule is placed and an optical input-output portion facing an optical input-output surface of the ferrule; and a fixing member for fixing the ferrule to the housing, wherein the fixing member comprises: two wall portions, which are provided perpendicularly to a placing surface of the placing po…
