Abstract

An electro-optical data transmission module comprises at least a first SMT housing (11) and a second SMT housing (13). A surface-emitting laser light emitter chip is accommodated in the first SMT housing (11), and a light-sensitive light receiver chip is accommodated in the second SMT housing (13). By virtue of the modular design which is formed from at least two individual SMT housings, the electro-optical data transmission module can be implemented with a minimum size.
