Abstract:
1. An optoelectronic device, comprising: a TOSA, wherein the TOSA is configured to transmit optical signals and wherein the TOSA includes: a ROSA, wherein the ROSA is configured to receive optical signals and wherein the ROSA includes: a printed circuit board, wherein the printed circuit board includes: a housing configured to substantially enclose the TOSA, the ROSA and the printed circuit board, wherein the housing includes: wherein the first part cooperates with the second part to pinch the free end of the first electrical connector together with the contact element and to pinch the free end of the second electrical connector together with the contact element when the first part of the housing is joined with the second part of the housing; wherein the first part and the second part of the housing are not electrically connected with the free end of the first electrical connector, the free end of the second electrical connector or the contact element of the printed circuit board; wherein the first part cooperates with the second part, the notch of the TOSA and the notch of the ROSA to mechanically align the TOSA and ROSA within the housing; and wherein the first part and the second part allow movement between the first free end and the contact element and movement between the second free end and the contact element to accommodate for at least one of thermal conditions, misalignment, and flex while maintaining the first free end and the second free end in contact with the contact element.
