Abstract
An optical transmission terminal device including a printed wiring board and an optical module mounted on the printed wiring board. The optical module includes an optical component mounting substrate, a photoelectric converter mounted on the substrate, a first optical fiber having one end optically coupled to the photoelectric converter, and a ferrule mounted on the substrate so as to partially project from the substrate. The other end portion of the first optical fiber is inserted and fixed in the ferrule. A wiring pattern formed on the printed wiring board and a feed electrode formed on the substrate are connected together by wire bonding. An optically coupled portion between the photoelectric converter and the first optical fiber and a connected portion between the wiring pattern and the feed electrode are commonly covered with a transparent resin. The optical transmission terminal device further includes an optical fiber connector housing mounted on the optical module for allowing connection of the first optical fiber to a second optical fiber.
