Patent ID: 7757929

Claim:
A method of manufacturing an optical transceiver module having an optical sub-assembly, the method comprising: positioning a lead frame connector for attachment to the optical sub-assembly, the lead frame connector comprising a plurality of electrically isolated conductors at least partially disposed within a case having a first part separated from a second part, each of the plurality of conductors having a first portion encased in and restrained by the first case part, a second un-encased portion movable relative to the second case part, and a third portion disposed between the first case part and the second case part such that the third portion is un-encased and is separated from the second un-encased portion by the second case part; following connecting each of the conductors to the optical sub-assembly, manipulating the third, un-encased, portion of each of the plurality of conductors to align the second portion of each of the plurality of conductors with conductive structures on a printed circuit board; and connecting the second portion of each of the plurality of conductors to the conductive structures to electrically connect the optical sub-assembly to the printed circuit board.
