## Abstract

A light receiving module includes a substrate, a light receiving element mounted on the substrate, a resin package covering the light receiving element, and a shield cover into which the resin package is inserted in an insertion direction. The shield cover includes first and second press plates configured to press the resin package in two different directions that are perpendicular to the insertion direction. The first press plate and the second press plate include a first end and a second end, respectively, which are adjacent but different in position in the insertion direction.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A light receiving module comprising:
a substrate;
a light receiving element mounted on the substrate;
a resin package covering the light receiving element; and
a shield cover into which the resin package is inserted in an insertion direction;
wherein the shield cover includes a first press plate and a second press plate, the first press plate being configured to press the resin package in a first direction perpendicular to the insertion direction, the second press plate being configured to press the resin package in a second direction perpendicular to the insertion direction and different from the first direction,
wherein the first press plate includes a first end, the second press plate including a second end separate from the first end of the first press plate, the first end and the second end being adjacent to each other in the insertion direction and deformable separately from each other for allowing both the first press plate and the second press plate to come into pressing contact with the resin package.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The light receiving module according to claim 1, wherein the first end of the first press plate is positioned immediately under the second end of the second press when the resin package is separated from the shield cover.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The light receiving module according to claim 1, wherein the shield cover includes an edge connected to the first end of the first press plate, the edge being inclined with respect to the insertion direction.
