Abstract
An optical fiber connector includes a shell, a printed circuit board (PCB), and an optical-electrical convertor received in the shell. The PCB includes a loading surface. The optical-electrical convertor includes a substrate, a light emitting module, a light receiving module, a connecting block, a first converging lens, a second converging lens, a first fiber group, and a second fiber group. The substrate is positioned on the loading surface. The connecting block is fixed on the substrate, and defines a first channel and a second channel parallel to the loading surface. The light emitting module and the light receiving module are fixed on the substrate and electrically connected to the PCB. The first fiber group and the second fiber group are received in the first channel and the second channel respectively.
Claims9
An optical fiber connector, comprising:
- a shell defining a receiving groove which has an opening;
- a printed circuit board (PCB) received in the receiving groove and comprising a loading surface;
- an optical-electrical converter comprising:
- a substrate electrically connected to the printed circuit board, the substrate comprising a first surface and a second surface connected to the first surface, the first surface positioned on the loading surface;
- and
- a connecting block positioned on the second surface of the substrate and extending out of the receiving groove through the opening, the connecting block defining a first channel and a second channel parallel to the first channel, the extending directions of the first channel and the second channel parallel to the loading surface;
- a light emitting module positioned on the second surface of the substrate and electrically connected to the PCB;
- a light receiving module positioned on the second surface of the substrate and electrically connected to the PCB;
- a first fiber group received in the first channel and optically aligned with the light emitting module;
- and
- a second fiber group received in the second channel and optically aligned with the light receiving module.
