An FC-type optoelectronic assembly is provided that has a threaded plastic body that is adapted to mate with a threaded sleeve of an FC plug by engaging the threaded sleeve the FC plug with the threaded body of the FC-type optoelectronic assembly. The threaded plastic body is transparent to an operational wavelength of the FC-type optoelectronic assembly and has an optical element integrally formed therein. A TO-can header is housed in the threaded plastic body. A miniature PCB may be used for mounting the electrical and optoelectronic components of the TO-can header assembly on the header of the TO-can header assembly.

Fixed connection (FC)-type optoelectronic assembly having a transparent threaded plastic body with an optical element integrally formed therein

A molded interconnect device (MID) optical connector includes a molded plastic body and a metal retaining clip. The body has a receptacle portion shaped to receive and guide a mating optical fiber ferrule into a connected position. In the connected position, the end of a fiber retained in the ferrule is in optical alignment with an opto-electronic device in the MID optical connector. The retaining clip has one or more contact portions that extend into the receptacle portion of the body and exert a spring force upon the ferrule to retain and stabilize it in the connected position.
