Abstract
An alignment jig for an optical lens array is furnished on an optical alignment apparatus. The alignment machine is for performing active optical alignment operations of a sensor chip located on a circuit board and a lens socket plugged with a fiber plug. The alignment jig includes a support arm, a pick-up mechanism and a pushing mechanism. The support arm is fixed to the optical alignment apparatus for supporting the alignment jig. The pick-up mechanism is furnished on the support arm for picking-up and holding the lens socket in a detachable manner at a predetermined position corresponding to the sensor chip. The pushing mechanism holds the plugging status when the fiber plug is plugged into the lens socket and provides a pushing force, such that the fiber plug has a tendency to be pushed toward and engage the lens socket tightly.
