Abstract
An optical module includes a circuit board including a mount surface and a non-mount surface opposite the mount surface, a photoelectric conversion element mounted on the mount surface of the circuit board, an optical coupling member for holding an optical fiber and optically coupling the optical fiber and the photoelectric conversion element, a semiconductor circuit element mounted on the mount surface of the circuit board, and electrically connected to the photoelectric conversion element, a plate-shaped supporting member arranged so as to sandwich the optical coupling member between the supporting member and the circuit board, and an electrically conductive body supported by the supporting member, extended in a thickness direction of the supporting member, and connected at one end to an electrode provided on the non-mount surface of the circuit board.
