Abstract
A connector for a plug-connected electrical component, in particular, an optoelectronic transceiver, includes a package having fastening pins for fastening the package on a printed-circuit board, the fastening pins to be connected to the board in a press-fit. Preferably, the fastening pins are U-shaped and have two resilient legs able to move toward each other. Each of the two legs has external serrations, particularly, barbs. The package is a one-part package and has a clearance on a bottom side for accommodating a plug, already fastened to the board, when the package is connected to the board. The package couples the component to the board. Also provided is a method of mounting the package by first soldering the plug for the electronic component to the board and testing the plug. Then, the package is fitted onto the board accommodating the plug with the fastening pins connected to the board in a press-fit.
