Abstract:
A method for producing an optoelectronic female connector element for an optical male connector of an optoelectronic plug connector, which comprises:providing a mounting block having an end face with alignment pins projecting out from the end face and facing the optical male connector;fitting a component support having an optoelectronic component with optoelectronic transducer elements to the end face of the mounting block;guiding the mounting block toward an inner contact face of the optical male connector, with the alignment pins being inserted into alignment openings formed in the optical male connector;electrically actuating the optoelectronic transducer elements of the optoelectronic component;moving the component support on the end face facing the optical male connector to a position of maximum optical coupling to optical conductors of the optical male connector;fixing the component support in the position of maximum coupling on the end face facing the optical male connector; andencapsulating the mounting block with plastic.
