An optical communication device, including a module board which includes at least the optical module inputting or outputting an optical signal, and the peripheral circuit connecting electrically with the optical module; a connector board which includes an electric connector inputting or outputting an electric signal: and a flexible board which adjusts a relative position of the module board and the connector board, and transmits the electric signal among these boards.

Optical communication device, optical transceiver using the same and manufacturing method of optical communication device

An improved disconnect structure for SFP optical transceiver modules uses a slidethat travels relative to the module housing over a limited range. The slidehas operating pieceswhich are elastically displaceable to elastically displace a spring plateof the cage in a direction to release the locked state. The slide initially moves relative to the module housing to deflect the spring plate downwardly and release the locked state. When the slide then reaches the end of its range of motion relative to the module housing, further withdrawal of the slide pulls the module housing along with it, removing the module form the cage.
