Abstract
The invention provides an optoelectronic arrangement having a pluggable optoelectronic module and an electric plug arranged on a host printed circuit board. The optoelectronic module comprises at least one optoelectronic transducer, at least one electronic chip, and a module printed circuit board with a plurality of first electric contacts. The electric plug is electrically connected to the host printed circuit board and has a plurality of second electric contacts which, when the module is plugged in, are in electric contact with the first electric contacts of the module printed circuit board. Also provided are a displacement mechanism for linearly displacing the module into an end position with reference to the electric plug, and a contact mechanism for making contact and breaking contact between the first electric contacts and second electric contacts. It is possible in this case to activate the contact mechanism only when the module is in the end position. The present invention also relates to a very compact electric plug which is arranged on a host printed circuit board.
