Abstract
In a modular system of optoelectronic components each component has a standardized housing. The standard housing has a device for the mechanical connection to at least one housing of a further component, or it is connected to such a device. This allows different combinations to be produced using the same system components. Flat optoelectronic components are particularly suitable for use in the modular system. In this case, according to the invention, an optical waveguide is integrated in the component, runs parallel to a circuit mount, and forms an optical interface on one narrow housing face. The electrical contacts of the component are likewise arranged on a narrow housing face.
