Zusammenfassung:	An adapter for electrically connecting a laser diode to a circuit board is disclosed. An example laser diode may form part of an optical communications system in which the laser diode emits optical signals into an optical fiber cable based on electrical signals received from one or more source circuits. The laser diode is electrically connected to the source circuit(s) through a circuit board. A laser diode adapter is provided to facilitate electrically connecting, as well as mechanically coupling, the laser diode to the circuit board. In this regard, the laser diode adapter includes conductive pads for coupling to conductive legs of the laser diode. The laser diode adapter also includes a set of conductive signal pads for coupling to conductive receiving pads which are electrically connected to the conductive pads, thereby electrically connecting the conductive legs of the laser diode to the circuit board.
