Abstract
A photoelectric conversion device includes a circuit board, light emitting modules, light receiving modules, and an optical coupling lens. The light emitting modules and the light receiving modules are mounted on the circuit board. The optical coupling lens is mounted on the circuit board and includes a first mounting surface. The first mounting surface defines a first recess at a central portion thereof and four receiving grooves at four peripheral edges thereof apart from the first recess. The receiving grooves are exposed to the peripheral edges of the first mounting surface.
