Abstract
A connector is provided for connecting optic fibers to electrical circuit modules. The connector includes a plurality of fiber supporting means arrayed on a first surface of the connector base in a first direction. Supporting one end of a plurality of fiber sheets each comprised of a plurality of fibers bundled into a sheet form in such a manner that the sheet surface of each fiber sheet is substantially vertical to the first surface and the first direction. A plurality of opto-electrical circuits are connected to one sheet of the plurality of fiber sheets and each comprised of an electrooptical converter or an opto-electrical converter. A plurality of contact electrodes are also provided on a second surface, opposite to the first surface, of the connector base and connected to the plurality of optoelectrical circuits.
