Abstract:
1. An optical communication module which is provided at an end portion of a light path member and which electrically connects the light path member and a connector via an optical signal processing unit by being engaged in the connector, the optical communication module comprising: a module base, having an approximately rectangular shape, in which the light path member is introduced from one end surface in a longitudinal direction; a cover member provided at an upper portion of the module base; and a plurality of pairs of conductive members which are electrically connected to the light path member, wherein in each of the pairs the conductive members constituting the pair are respectively disposed at both outside surfaces of the module base extending in the longitudinal direction, wherein the module base comprises a base upper portion, a base central portion, and a base lower portion, which are stacked so as to form a concave portion at an upper surface of the module base, wherein the cover member is formed so as to cover an opening of the concave portion, and wherein the conductive members are formed so as to extend for equal lengths toward an upper surface side and a lower surface side of the module base from a center line of a height direction of the outside surfaces.
