Abstract
Printed circuit board (PCB) positioning spacers in an optoelectronic module. In one example embodiment, an optoelectronic module includes a housing comprising a top shell and a bottom shell, top and bottom printed circuit boards (PCBs) at least partially enclosed within the housing, and a spacer positioned between the first and second PCBs. The spacer includes top and bottom surfaces, a plurality of top posts extending from the top surface, and a bottom post extending from the bottom surface. The top posts extend through openings in the top PCB to contact one or more inside surfaces of the top shell. The bottom post extends through an opening in the bottom PCB to contact an inside surface of the bottom shell.
