Slip optical connector module

An optical connector module, comprising:

• a holder having an optical device on a first side and a first electrical lead on a second side opposite said first side, said optical device converting optical signals into electrical signals and converting electrical signals into optical signals;
• a connector having an optical fiber that corresponds to said optical device on a first side of said holder, and having input/output ends of said optical fiber on a second side of said connector, said connector having a pair of latches on either side of said connector between said first side and said second side, said second side of said connector mating with said first side of said holder;
• and
• a U-shaped body having abase portion and a pair of sidewall portions extending from said base portion, said sidewall portions having an inside side and an outside side, said sidewall portions and said base portion provide room bounded by said inside sides of said pair of sidewalls and said base portion to accommodate said holder and said connector within said U-shaped body, said inside side of said sidewall portions having latch receiving grooves that mate with and lock into place said connector attached to said holder.

An optical connector module, comprising:

• a connecting unit in which at least one optical device is coupled to at least one optical fiber;
• and
• a cover member being opened downward, capping a top and two sides of the connecting unit and fixed to a top of a substrate of a predetermined device to stably maintain the combination of the connecting unit within the cover member,
• wherein the cover member forms a support structure of the connecting unit along with the substrate of the device.
