Abstract
A method of adapting a miniature standard coaxial connector to enable the coupling of a fiber optic cable to an active device is disclosed in which the female portion of the connector is partially disassembled by removing its central contact and modified by drilling out or otherwise enlarging the passage which is left after the removal of the contact. The active device is mounted through a hole drilled in a printed circuit board, and electrically coupled to the top layer thereof. This unit is then affixed to the end of the female connector carrying the enlarged passage, such that the metalized layer on the printed circuit board makes electrical contact with the metal casing of the female portion of the connector, and such that the face of the active element is exposed through the enlarged passage.
