Abstract

Provided are a printed circuit board configured to achieve reduction in impedance of a differential transmission line extending in a stacking direction, and an optical module. The printed circuit board includes a stacking-direction differential transmission line extending in the stacking direction, including: a differential signal via pair including a first signal via and a second signal via; and a plurality of conductor plate pairs each including a first conductor plate expanding outward from the first signal via, and a second conductor plate expanding outward from the second signal via. With respect to a perpendicular bisector of a center-of-gravity line segment connecting centers of gravity of the first and second signal vias, in each of the plurality of conductor plate pairs, centers of gravity of contours of the first and second conductor plates are located on inner sides of the centers of gravity.
