OPTOELECTRONIC CONNECTOR HAVING IMPROVED OPTICAL MODULE

An optoelectronic connector includes a cover, a circuit board mounted in the cover, and an optical module assembled to the circuit board. The optical module includes a lens module having a U-shaped receiving space, a ferrule mounted on an end of an optical waveguide, and a locking bolt releasably inserted through the lens module and assembled into the ferrule. The ferrule has two opposite side walls and adapted to be at least partly received within the receiving space. The locking bolt is configured for securely mounting the ferrule and lens module together.
