Abstract
The invention provides an optoelectronic device having a holder and a coxial module which is secured in the holder and which includes an optoelectronic component, preferably a semi-conductor diode laser. The module is capable of receiving or emitting radiation at an end face of the module, preferably via a coupled glass fiber. Connection pins for the optoelectronic component are situated at the other end face of the module and the holder is provided with connection means which extended right angles to the longitudinal direction of the module and that are electrically connected to the connection pins. The connection pins are bent from the longitudinal direction of the module towards the connection means. The free ends of the connection pins are inserted in the connection means. The holder is provided with a clamping member by means of which the module is secured in the holder. The clamping member is constructed in such a manner that the module can be placed in the clamping member of the holder in a direction at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the module.
