Abstract

An alignment connector for an optoelectronic module can include: a front end having a first gripper arm and a second gripper arm with an alignment connector aperture between the first gripper arm and the second gripper arm; a base having a bottom surface and a receptacle surface; the back end having a first back wall and a second back wall with a back gap therebetween; and a ferrule receptacle extending to a medial region where the alignment connector aperture extends from, and including a portion of the receptacle surface, the ferrule receptacle being defined by a first side wall having a first latch arm and a second side wall having a second latch arm. The alignment connector can be included in a module with a bail or pull-tab. Alternatively, the first gripper arm and second gripper arm can be mounted directly to a module housing.
