Abstract:
An electrooptical transmitting and/or receiving module has a lead frame and an optoelectronic transducer mounted thereon. The lead frame and the optoelectronic transducer are potted by a shaped body made from transparent, formable material. Introduced into the shaped body is a reflector element. A radiation beam emitted by a transmitter, or a received radiation beam to be directed onto a receiver is deflected at a prescribed angle by the reflector element. The module can be used in an electrooptical transmitting and/or receiving unit which is constructed as a sidelooker. A method is also provided for molding the electrooptical transmitting and/or receiving module.
