Patent ID: 7036999

Claim:
An optoelectronic module, comprising: at least one optoelectronic component configured to emit or receive light; a carrier element configured to support the at least one optoelectronic component thereon, wherein the carrier element comprises at least one adjusting opening arranged therein that is configured to receive an adjusting element when coupling the module to another component or module, and wherein the carrier element comprises a leadframe that has at least one conductive contact surface, and wherein the carrier element further comprises at least one optical window opening therein corresponding generally to the at least one optoelectronic component, respectively, wherein the at least one optical window opening is configured to permit a transmission of light that is emitted or received by the at least one optoelectronic component, respectively; and a cover surrounding at least a top portion of the carrier element and the at least one optoelectronic component, the cover comprising at least one clearance therein in one or more regions corresponding to the at least one adjusting opening, respectively, wherein the cover comprises a plastic material that is non-transparent at least to the light emitted or received by the at least one optoelectronic component, the leadframe together with the cover forming a surface-mountable component.
