Abstract(in English) With the rapid expansion of today's digitally-networked information society, information electronic equipment is increasingly required to process large-volume information at high speed. Recently, the optical interconnection technology is getting a lot of attention as a mean to achieve high-speed transmission. The authors have developed a new type of optoelectronic ferrule called the "LFI" (or Lead Frame Inserted) ferrule for application to optical interconnection modules. The LFI ferrule is fabricated by integrally molding a minute lead frame with the electrode at the end face of a plastic multi-fiber ferrule. After the optical fiber hole position accuracy and electrode position accuracy were checked, it was confirmed that the LFI ferrule is on a practical level without problems. The use of the LFI ferrule allows the parts count to be reduced and eliminates the need for precise core alignment, thus making it possible to manufacture photoelectrical conversion modules at lower costs.
