OPTICAL CONNECTOR DEVICE WITH LID

An optical connector device is provided. The optical connector device includes a semiconductor package including a receptacle and a lid. The optical connector device also included an adapter attached to the lid of the semiconductor package, and a connector removably attached to the adapter. The adapter includes a convex part adapted to fit into an adapter opening of the lid, an adapter recess adapted to accommodate at least a portion of the connector, and a first retainer in the adapter recess to removably attach the connector to the adapter at a predetermined position. The connector includes an optical fiber array corresponding to the receptacle and extending in a vertical direction with respect to a plane of the semiconductor package, a second retainer used in conjunction with the first retainer, and a biasing member to bias a portion of the connector toward the semiconductor package.
