Patent ID: 7665908

Claim:
An optical transceiver module, comprising: a molded plastic body including a three-dimensional molded structure included thereon, the three dimensional molded structure including a sunken component pocket configured such that when the component is placed in the pocket a top surface of the component is substantially level with a top body surface enabling electrical connections thereto of minimum length to be established between selected traces that terminate at the component pocket and conductive pads positioned on the component; an integrated optical subassembly (OSA), including: a molded plastic mounting surface defined on a vertical portion of the molded body; a molded plastic wall extending about the mounting surface; at least one optoelectronic device positioned on the molded plastic mounting surface; a plurality of bond pads included on the molded plastic mounting surface in electrical connection with the at least one optoelectronic device; a plurality of conductive feedthroughs defined through the molded plastic mounting surface, each feedthrough being in electrical communication with a corresponding one of the bond pads, wherein the plurality of conductive feedthroughs are arranged such that some of the conductive feedthroughs are in communication with one or more conductive features disposed on a top surface of the molded plastic body and some of the conductive feedthroughs are in communication with one or more conductive features disposed on a bottom surface of the molded plastic molded body, wherein one or more conductive features are configured to run around an edge of the molded plastic body from the top surface of the molded plastic body to the bottom surface of the molded plastic body; and an optical fiber port that engages the molded plastic wall extending about the mounting surface, wherein the optical fiber port is configured for receiving an optical fiber cable.
