Abstract
A low cost connector for coupling a fiber optic wave guide with a semiconductor emitter and detector device is described which positions the wave guide and the detector in mutually perpendicular orientation so that the detector device may be directly connected to a printed circuit wiring board with the wave guide exiting the connector parallel to the board. Locating and positioning means with the connector allow a particularly low cost molded semiconductor package to be employed without modification for misaligning of the package halves.
