Abstract
The present disclosure provides an optical module, including: an optical sub-module and a first housing; where a first sub-surface of the optical sub-module is provided with a first boss, and the first housing is provided with a first opening corresponding to the first boss. The improved structure of the optical module can greatly increase heat conduction efficiency of the optical module.
Claims20
An optical module assembly comprising:
- an optical sub-module having a longitudinal axis, an opening at a longitudinal end for sending or receiving an optical signal, and a top surface substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis;
- a first boss disposed on the top surface having at least one sidewall and a top surface;
- and
- a first housing section for partially enclosing the optical sub-module, the first housing section having an inside surface that defines a boss receiving region having a shape that complements the first boss so that the first boss is disposed within the boss receiving region and an inside surface of the boss receiving region is in thermal contact with the at least one sidewall of the first boss to thereby facilitate transfer of heat generated by the optical sub-module to the first housing section.

An optical module assembly, comprising:
- a first optical sub module having a longitudinal axis, an opening at a longitudinal end for sending or receiving an optical signal, and a top surface substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis;
- a second optical sub-module having a longitudinal axis, an opening at a longitudinal end for sending or receiving an optical signal, and a top surface substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis;
- a first boss disposed on the top surface of the first optical sub-module having at least one sidewall and a top surface;
- a second boss disposed on the top surface of the second optical sub module having at least one sidewall and a top surface;
- a first housing section for partially enclosing the first and second optical sub-module,
- the first housing having an inside surface that defines boss receiving regions having shapes that complement the first and second bosses, respectively, so that the first and second bosses are disposed within respective boss receiving regions and inside surfaces of the boss receiving regions are in thermal contact with the at least one sidewalls of the first and second bosses, respectively, to thereby facilitate transfer of heat generated by the first and second optical sub-modules to the first housing section;
- and
- wherein the first optical sub-module and the second optical sub-module are configured to be snap-connected together.
