Description

本発明は、光モジュールに関するものである。   The present invention relates to an optical module.

光を情報伝送媒体とする光通信分野においては、光ファイバ等により伝送される光信号を受信または送信するため、光信号と電気信号とを相互に変換する光素子を備えた光モジュールが用いられている。電気信号から光信号への変換には、垂直共振器表面発光レーザ(Vertical cavity surface-emitting Laser:VCSEL)に代表される面発光素子が用いられ、光信号から電気信号への変換には、PINフォトダイオードに代表される面受光素子が用いられており、これらの光素子は基板に対して電気的に接続され、光ファイバ等は光素子に対して光学的に接続される。   In the field of optical communication using light as an information transmission medium, an optical module including an optical element that mutually converts an optical signal and an electrical signal is used to receive or transmit an optical signal transmitted through an optical fiber or the like. ing. A surface emitting element typified by a vertical cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) is used for the conversion from an electrical signal to an optical signal, and a PIN is used for the conversion from an optical signal to an electrical signal. A surface light receiving element typified by a photodiode is used. These optical elements are electrically connected to the substrate, and optical fibers and the like are optically connected to the optical elements.

このような光モジュールは、配線基板(プリント配線板あるいはボード)上において光ファイバ等の光配線をする際の作業性や、保守交換の容易性などの点から、光ファイバ等の光伝送体がコネクタを介して着脱可能であることが望ましい。   Such an optical module has an optical transmission body such as an optical fiber from the viewpoint of workability when optical wiring such as an optical fiber is carried out on a wiring board (printed wiring board or board) and ease of maintenance and replacement. It is desirable that it is detachable via a connector.

また、光素子に光ファイバ等を着脱する場合、配線基板に対して水平方向に着脱する構造にすると、光素子を搭載した部品の周辺に光ファイバ等を着脱する作業用のスペースを設けざるを得ないことから、そのスペースには他の部品を実装できず、実装密度を上げられないという問題がある。したがって、光ファイバ等の着脱は配線基板に対して垂直方向に行うことができることが望ましい。   In addition, when an optical fiber or the like is attached to or detached from the optical element, a structure for attaching or detaching the optical fiber or the like around the component on which the optical element is mounted should be provided if it is configured to be attached to and detached from the wiring board in the horizontal direction. Since it cannot be obtained, there is a problem that other parts cannot be mounted in the space, and the mounting density cannot be increased. Therefore, it is desirable that attachment / detachment of an optical fiber or the like can be performed in a direction perpendicular to the wiring board.

従来、このような要求に対応するものとして、光素子をその受発光面が配線基板に対して水平になるように搭載すると共に、光ファイバ等の端面に反射ミラー等を設けて光軸を垂直に変換したコネクタを用いることで、光ファイバ等と光素子とを垂直方向へ着脱自在に光学的に接続する光モジュールが提案されている(特許文献1参照)。   Conventionally, in order to meet such demands, an optical element is mounted so that its light emitting / receiving surface is horizontal with respect to the wiring board, and a reflection mirror is provided on the end face of an optical fiber or the like to vertically align the optical axis. There has been proposed an optical module that optically connects an optical fiber or the like and an optical element so as to be detachable in a vertical direction by using a connector converted into (see Patent Document 1).

しかし、光素子は、たとえばドライバ集積回路装置などを共に搭載した基板あるいはパッケージ等の部品全体として配線基板上に実装され、このような部品を配線基板上のパッドに対して電気的に接続する形態として一般的なものとしてはBGA(Ball Grid Array)などのはんだボールのリフローによる接続などがあるが、このようなはんだ接続による方法では、多くの他の部品が実装されている配線基板上において光素子を搭載した部品に修理交換が必要となったときに、当該部品の交換が困難であり、あるいは交換作業が煩雑になるという問題があった。   However, the optical element is mounted on the wiring board as a whole component such as a board or a package on which a driver integrated circuit device is mounted, for example, and such components are electrically connected to pads on the wiring board. As a general method, there is a connection by reflow of a solder ball such as BGA (Ball Grid Array). However, with such a solder connection method, light is transmitted on a wiring board on which many other components are mounted. When a part on which an element is mounted needs to be repaired and replaced, it is difficult to replace the part or the replacement work becomes complicated.

このように、保守交換等の作業性および配線基板上の実装密度の確保の点から、光接続のみならず電気接続も配線基板に対して垂直に着脱でき、しかも容易に着脱できる構造が望まれていた。さらに、実装密度の向上等の点から光モジュール自体のさらなる小型化も望まれており、これらの要求を満足する製品を低コストで製造することも望まれている。   Thus, from the viewpoints of workability for maintenance and replacement and securing of mounting density on the wiring board, not only optical connection but also electrical connection can be attached to and detached from the wiring board vertically, and a structure that can be easily attached and detached is desired. It was. Furthermore, further miniaturization of the optical module itself is desired from the viewpoint of improving the mounting density, and it is also desired to produce a product that satisfies these requirements at a low cost.

このような課題を解決するものとして、本発明者等は、外部側の光軸と光素子側の光軸とが互いに垂直となる連続した光伝送路を形成する光伝送体および当該光伝送体を保持する保持部材を備えた上部構造体と、光素子を含む電子部品が上面に搭載されると共にスルーホールを通じて電子部品の電極に電気的に接続されたパッドが下面に設けられた電子部品搭載基板と、異方導電性シートとを、配線基板上に設置されたクランプスプリングなどの装着体によって押圧して固定することにより電子部品搭載基板の光素子に対して上部構造体の光伝送路を光学的に接続すると共に電子部品搭載基板の下面のパッドと配線基板の上面のパッドとを異方導電性シートを介して電気的に接続する構造の光モジュールを提案している(特許文献2参照)。

上記の光モジュールによれば、大幅な小型化が可能であると共に、光接続と電気接続の両方を配線基板面に対して垂直に着脱することが可能であるが、電気接続構造の簡素化などにおいて更なる改善の余地があった。   According to the above optical module, it is possible to greatly reduce the size, and it is possible to attach and detach both the optical connection and the electrical connection perpendicularly to the wiring board surface. There was room for further improvement.

本発明は、以上の通りの事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、大幅に小型化され、光接続と電気接続の両方を配線基板面に対して垂直に着脱することができると共に、安定な電気接続を簡易な構造で可能とする光モジュールを提供することを課題としている。   The present invention has been made in view of the circumstances as described above, and is greatly reduced in size.

An upper structure including an optical transmission body and a holding member for holding the optical transmission body, a wiring board provided with a wiring pattern and a connection electrode, and an electron including an optical element disposed on the wiring board An electronic component mounting board on which a component is mounted on the upper surface and a lower electrode electrically connected to an electrode of the electronic component is provided on the lower surface, and the upper structure and the electronic component mounting substrate are vertically arranged on the wiring substrate. By pressing and fixing, the optical transmission path of the upper structure is optically connected to the optical element of the electronic component mounting substrate, and the lower electrode of the electronic component mounting substrate and the connection electrode of the wiring substrate are brought into contact with each other. Electrical connection Includes bets, one of the electronic component mounting the lower electrode and the wiring board of the connection electrode of the substrate is characterized in that it is formed in a protrusion shape.

第2に、上記第1の光モジュールにおいて、電子部品搭載基板の下面電極は突起状のピン電極であり、配線基板の接続電極はスルーホール電極であり、装着体による垂直方向への押圧によって電子部品搭載基板のピン電極が配線基板のスルーホール電極に挿入されることにより電子部品搭載基板と配線基板とが電気的に接続されることを特徴とする。   Second, in the first optical module, the lower surface electrode of the electronic component mounting board is a protruding pin electrode, and the connection electrode of the wiring board is a through-hole electrode. The electronic component mounting board and the wiring board are electrically connected by inserting the pin electrodes of the component mounting board into the through-hole electrodes of the wiring board.

第3に、上記第1の光モジュールにおいて、配線基板の接続電極は、パッド上に突起状の導電性コイルを有しており、装着体による垂直方向への押圧によって導電性コイルが変形して電子部品搭載基板の下面電極に接触することにより電子部品搭載基板と配線基板とが電気的に接続されることを特徴とする。   Third, in the first optical module, the connection electrode of the wiring board has a protruding conductive coil on the pad, and the conductive coil is deformed by pressing in the vertical direction by the mounting body. The electronic component mounting board and the wiring board are electrically connected by contacting the lower surface electrode of the electronic component mounting board.

第4に、上記第1の光モジュールにおいて、電子部品搭載基板の下面電極は逆円錐状の導電性突起が形成されており、装着体による垂直方向への押圧によって導電性突起が配線基板の接続電極に接触することにより電子部品搭載基板と配線基板とが電気的に接続されることを特徴とする。   Fourth, in the first optical module, the lower electrode of the electronic component mounting board is formed with an inverted conical conductive protrusion, and the conductive protrusion is connected to the wiring board by pressing in the vertical direction by the mounting body. The electronic component mounting board and the wiring board are electrically connected by contacting the electrodes.

第5に、上記第1の光モジュールにおいて、電子部品搭載基板の下面電極と配線基板の接続電極のいずれか一方は、パッド上に導電性を有する突起状の弾性体を有しており、装着体による垂直方向への押圧によって突起状の弾性体が変形して他方の電極に接触することにより電子部品搭載基板と配線基板とが電気的に接続されることを特徴とする。   Fifth, in the first optical module, one of the lower surface electrode of the electronic component mounting board and the connection electrode of the wiring board has a protruding elastic body having conductivity on the pad, and is mounted The protrusion-like elastic body is deformed by pressing in the vertical direction by the body and comes into contact with the other electrode, whereby the electronic component mounting board and the wiring board are electrically connected.

上記第1〜第5の発明によれば、光接続と電気接続の両方を配線基板面に対して垂直に着脱することができ、保守交換等の際に光学的にも電気的にも切り離しが可能であるため、保守交換等が容易であり、さらに、電子部品搭載基板が配置される周囲に着脱のための作業用のスペースを設ける必要がなく、配線基板上の実装密度を上げることができると共に、高密度に部品が実装されている中で、ユーザが配線基板上に光モジュールを配置する場所の選択性、拡張性を高めることができる。そして、上記の構造とすることで光モジュールを全体として大幅に小型化することができ、低コストで光モジュールを製造することができる。   According to the first to fifth inventions, both the optical connection and the electrical connection can be attached to and detached from the wiring board surface perpendicularly, and can be disconnected both optically and electrically during maintenance and replacement. Since it is possible, maintenance and replacement are easy, and it is not necessary to provide a work space for attachment / detachment around the electronic component mounting board, and the mounting density on the wiring board can be increased. In addition, while the components are mounted at a high density, it is possible to improve the selectivity and expandability of the place where the user places the optical module on the wiring board. And by setting it as said structure, an optical module can be significantly reduced as a whole and an optical module can be manufactured at low cost.

さらに、電子部品搭載基板の下面電極と配線基板の接続電極のいずれか一方を突起状に形成し、電子部品搭載基板の下面電極と配線基板の接続電極とを異方導電性シートを介在させず直接に接触させて電気的に接続するようにしたので、電気接続構造を簡素化することができ、さらに光モジュールの動作時において安定な電気接続を達成することができる。   Further, either the bottom electrode of the electronic component mounting board or the connection electrode of the wiring board is formed in a protruding shape, and the anisotropic conductive sheet is not interposed between the bottom electrode of the electronic component mounting board and the connection electrode of the wiring board. Since electrical connection is made by direct contact, the electrical connection structure can be simplified, and stable electrical connection can be achieved during operation of the optical module.

By mounting, the optical fiber 7 of the upper structure 5 and the optical element 40 of the electronic component mounting substrate 30 are optically connected, and the electronic component mounting substrate 30 and the wiring substrate 70 are electrically connected.

図1に示すように、保持部材6の上面における光ファイバ7と平行な両側周縁部には、当該周縁部に沿ってテーパ面を成す一対の肩部12が設けられており、図1の嵌合部材50内に嵌め込んで装着したときに嵌合部材50の上部に設けられた一対の突条部52が保持部材6の肩部12に当接して下方に押圧するようになっている。   As shown in FIG. 1, a pair of shoulder portions 12 that form a tapered surface along the peripheral edge portion are provided on both peripheral edge portions parallel to the optical fiber 7 on the upper surface of the holding member 6. When the fitting member 50 is fitted and attached, the pair of protrusions 52 provided on the upper part of the fitting member 50 abuts against the shoulder 12 of the holding member 6 and presses downward.

また、図1に示すように、保持部材6には2つの位置決め穴11が設けられており、図1の嵌合部材50内に嵌め込んで装着したときに、電子部品搭載基板30に立設された位置決めピン42が保持部材6の位置決め穴11に挿入されて上部構造体5と電子部品搭載基板30とが水平方向に位置決めされるようになっている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the holding member 6 is provided with two positioning holes 11, which are erected on the electronic component mounting substrate 30 when fitted into the fitting member 50 of FIG. The positioning pins 42 thus inserted are inserted into the positioning holes 11 of the holding member 6 so that the upper structure 5 and the electronic component mounting board 30 are positioned in the horizontal direction.

保持部材6は、図3(a)および図3(b)に示すように上側部材10と下側部材20とから構成されており、上側部材10と下側部材20によって光ファイバ7を挟み込んで保持するようになっている。上側部材10の下面側には光ファイバ7の円弧形状に対応した曲面上に、たとえば断面V字状などのガイド溝が平行に設けられており、これらのガイド溝のそれぞれに光ファイバ7が1本ずつ配置され案内されるようになっている。一方、下側部材20の上面側には光ファイバ7の円弧形状に対応した曲面を成す光ファイバ保持面が設けられており、上側部材10と下側部材20によって光ファイバ7を挟み込むことにより、上側部材10のガイド溝と下側部材20の光ファイバ保持面との間で光ファイバ7を円弧状に曲げられた状態で保持するようになっている。   The holding member 6 includes an upper member 10 and a lower member 20 as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, and the optical fiber 7 is sandwiched between the upper member 10 and the lower member 20.

電子部品搭載基板30は、壁部32に囲まれたキャビティ内に光素子40、ドライバ集積回路装置41などの電子部品を搭載している。   The electronic component mounting board 30 mounts electronic components such as the optical element 40 and the driver integrated circuit device 41 in a cavity surrounded by the wall portion 32.

光素子40は、面発光素子のVCSELと面受光素子のPINフォトダイオードから構成されている。壁部32の上面32aは光学的基準面を構成しており、上部構造体5の下面に当接することにより、図5に示すように光ファイバ7の端面7aと光素子40とが垂直方向に位置決めされる。   The optical element 40 includes a VCSEL as a surface light emitting element and a PIN photodiode as a surface light receiving element.
