OPTOELECTRONIC MODULE WITH IMPROVED HEAT MANAGEMENT

The present invention relates to an optoelectronic module for receiving at least one optical ferrule and for electrically connecting with at least one electrical connector, comprising an optoelectric assembly (102) comprising a transducing component for converting optical signals into electrical signals and for converting electrical signals into optical signals. An optical interface comprises an optical connector (104) for contacting the optical ferrule. An electrical interface comprises a rigid contact element (110) for contacting said electrical connector. A module casing (115) is configured to dissipate heat generated by the opto-electric assembly (102). A carrier (112) is attached to a heat dissipating wall of the module casing (115), wherein the electrical interface comprises a flexible electrical connecting element (111) for interconnecting said carrier (112) and said rigid contact element (110). The optical interface comprises a flexible optical connecting element (106) for interconnecting said carrier (112) and said optical connector (104).
