Abstract
A fiber coupled light emitting diode module is provided which may be utilized for plug-in incorporation into a fiber optical communications system and for easy connection to a driving voltage source. Means are included in the module for facilitating manufacture since the location of the light emitting diode is not critical within the device and the device may be operated efficiently since the heat which is generated at the light emitting diode is conducted away to the exterior of the module for dissipation.
