Abstract:
1. An optical connector, comprising: a first printed circuit board (PCB) comprising a supporting surface and at least two substrate pads; a second PCB comprising a first surface, a second surface, and a connection surface, the first surface and the second surface being perpendicular to the supporting surface, the first surface and the second surface are positioned at opposite sides of the second PCB, the connection surface being interconnected between the first surface and the second surface and being parallel to the supporting surface, the connection surface defining at least two guiding holes, the second PCB positioned on the supporting surface and electrically connected to the first PCB, with the first surface being perpendicular to the supporting surface, the second PCB further comprising at least one laser diode and at least one photo diode, the at least one laser diode and the at least one photo diode positioned on the first surface; an optical-electric coupling element positioned on the first surface and receiving the at least one laser diode and the at least one photo diode, the optical-electric coupling element comprising at least two coupling lenses, each of the at least two coupling lenses aligning with a respective one of the at least one laser diode and the at least one photo diode; and at least two connection lines corresponding to the at least two substrate pads and the at least two guiding holes, one end of each connection line running through the corresponding guiding hole and electrically connected to a respective one of the at least one laser diode and the at least one photo diode, and the other end of each connection line electrically connected to the corresponding substrate pad.
