Abstract
An optical and electric signals transmission apparatus includes a receptacle having a light-receiving element and/or a light-receiving element and electrical connecting terminals, a plug having electrical connecting terminals to establish electrical coupling with the receptacle and optical coupling with the light-emitting element and/or the light-receiving element, an electric signal transmission line, and an optical signal transmission line. The receptacle has a fitting recess, and when the plug is fitted in the fitting recess in a direction substantially perpendicular to the optical axis of the light-emitting element or the light-receiving element, the optical coupling, the electrical coupling, and engagement of the receptacle with the plug are established at a location where the fitting recess and the plug are adjacent to each other.
