Abstract
A butt joined electrical apparatus has an open end face carrier or housing on which is positioned an electrical element. An electrical device and a coplanar transmission structure is formed on the electrical element with the coplanar transmission structure disposed toward the open end face of the carrier or housing. The electrical device coupled an electrical signal to and from a mating opto-electrical apparatus or housing. The coplanar transmission structure is independently aligned in three mutually perpendicular directions and in a proximate abutting relationship with another matching coplanar transmission structure formed on an opto-electrical element of the mating opto-electrical apparatus or housing. The electrical and opto-electrical apparatuses are independently positioned and mechanically joined together with the matching coplanar transmission structures electrically coupled together via substantially flat electrical conductors.
