The present invention relates to an optical sub-assembly for an optoelectronic module (M), designed to provide conversion of an electrical signal from a main electronic board into an optical signal or vice-versa. It comprises an alignment ring which allows the mechanical sub-assembly to be mechanically aligned and to be centered in a passive manner directly upon installation and hence the optical axis of the optoelectronic component to be readily aligned with the axis of the fiber optic ferrule and hence with the optical fiber extended by a complementary ferrule which is accommodated facing it in the holding cage.

Optical sub-assembly for a module communicating over optical fiber, with a device for optical coupling aligned in a passive manner

The present invention relates to an optoelectronic module (M), intended to convert an electrical signal from a main electronic board into an optical signal or vice versa. It comprises integrating, into the optoelectronic module, a device for removably mounting an optical contact element, consisting of a flexible plate the flexibility of which allows it to be moved from an unlocking position in which it permits the passage of the body and of the optical ferrule of the element, to a locking position in which the latter is locked in the casing of the module, once the optical ferrule has been optically coupled to the module. Furthermore, a simple, even manual, pressure allows the plate to be moved from a locking position to an unlocking position that permits the optical element to be removed from the casing of the module.
