Abstract
An electro-optical connector is described that provides a separable electrical interface for connecting to a circuit board. The optical connection between the fiber and the connector are semi-permanent. Also described is an electro-optical system that transfers signals between two circuit board over an optical fiber where the separable interface within the system is electrical rather than optical. Further described is a fixture with pivoting actuation and retraction for connecting a z-axis pressure mount connector to a circuit board.
