Abstract:
An optoelectronic component for data transmission (1) with a radiation-emitting semiconductor chip (4.1) arranged on a first part of a conductor strip (3.1) and a semiconductor chip (5.1) that responds to radiation arranged on a second part of the conductor strip (3.1) and with a housing (2) that in certain sections at least is transparent for the radiation used for data transmission and which encloses the conductor strip (3.1) with the exception of the external connecting legs (3) of the conductor frame, all of which protrude from a. single lateral face of the housing wherein all external connecting legs (3) are bent for the first time immediately behind the housing (2) such that they extend along the lateral face; and wherein all external connecting legs (3) are bent a second time at the edge to the rear side of the housing (2) such that they extend along the rear side; and wherein supporting surfaces (6, 7) on which the housing rests are arranged on the lateral face at which the connecting legs emerge from the housing and on the rear side of the housing as required for the respective direction of mounting.
