Abstract
An optical module includes a holding body for an optical component. The holding body is accommodated in a housing and provided with a flange. A plastic U-shaped latching device is held on the holding body and includes a base part having tongues with catches. In order to provide the module with a high reverse bending strength with reference to the tongues, the latching device is held on the flange with the aid of nose-like attachments of the housing in a transition region between the respective tongue and the base part.
