Abstract
A housing for interconnecting an opto-electronic device with a ferrule includes a base and a cover cooperable with the base to define a chamber. The housing also includes an elastomeric board mount, with pylons supporting a substrate, disposed in a sealing relationship between the base and the cover when the same are conjoined and arranged to seal legs on the substrate that extend through the elastomeric board mount.
Claims2
A housing for an opto-electronic device that receives a rigid substrate having a plurality of legs extending therefrom, the housing comprising:
- a base;
- a cover cooperable with the base to define a chamber;
- one of the cover or the base having a slot therein,
- a board mount of a self-healing elastomeric material, the board mount having a plurality of pylons for receiving the substrate thereon, the board mount being disposed in a sealing relationship with the one of the base or the cover having the slot therein when the base and the cover are conjoined, the legs extending through the elastomeric board mount and projecting through the slot when the base and the cover are conjoined, the self-healing elastomeric material of the board mount forming a seal about the legs.
