An optical-electrical connector assembly comprises a housing, a printed circuit board received in the housing and including a number of converting elements, a lens member, a ferrule aligned with the lens member and having a resisting portion, an integrated securing member, a coiled spring received in the securing member, and an optical cable having a number of optical fibers. The ferrule has a first engaging portion and a second engaging portion engaged with the housing. The coiled spring is compressed between the resisting portion and the first engaging portion.

Optical-electrical connector assembly having a securing member

An optical-electrical connector () includes a housing (), a circuit board () received in the housing and having a transducer for bidirectional optical-electrical signal conversion, a lens member () mounted on the circuit board, a ferrule () receiving a number of optical channels and having a resisting face (), a supporting portion () having a base wall (), and a resilient member. The ferrule is situated behind the lens member within the housing and aligned with the lens member along a front-to-back direction. The resilient member is permanently maintained an invariable compressed state between the base wall and the resisting face of the ferrule to provide an invariable forward resilient force to the ferrule for fixing the ferrule to the lens member, when the optical-electrical connector is used and unused.
