Patent ID: 7258264

Claim:
A method of manufacturing an optical transceiver module, the method comprising: positioning a lead frame connector for attachment to an optical sub-assembly of the optical transceiver module, the lead frame connector comprising a plurality of electrically isolated conductors disposed within an electrically insulating case having a first part separated from a second part, each of the plurality of conductors forming an electrical contact restrained in a fixed position with respect to the first part and a contact point extending from and movable relative to the second part; connecting the plurality of electrical contacts to corresponding leads of the optical sub-assembly to obtain a combined structure that includes the lead frame connector and the optical sub-assembly; and connecting the plurality of contact points to corresponding conductive structures on a printed circuit board of the optical transceiver module to electrically connect the optical sub-assembly to the printed circuit board, wherein connecting the plurality of contact points includes: bending the conductors at a first location between the first part and the second part; and bending the conductors at a second location adjacent the contact points to align the contact points with the conductive structures; wherein the first location is different from the second location.
