Abstract
A photoelectric back plane board is provided to facilitate the relative positioning of an optical data bus and light emitting/receiving devices, interconnection of a circuit board for optical communication and respective elements, and supplying power and inputting/outputting signals to/from the printed circuit board. In the photoelectric back plane board, the optical data bus is inserted into a recess within an optical data bus fixing board and a connector holding light emitting/receiving devices is positioningly fixed to the fixing board via through holes H formed in the fixing board so that relative positioning of the signal light incoming/outgoing areas and the light emitting/receiving devices can be easily achieved. By mounting the fixing board on a printed circuit board on which an electrical connector is provided, interconnection of a circuit board mounted on the optical connector and the printed circuit board is achieved by means of the electrical connector.
