A housing member has a profiled bore extending therethrough in one section of which a ferrule member containing an electro-optic member is secured by a removable retaining clip member that also acts as a heat sink member. Another ferrule member of a fiber optic connector terminated onto a fiber optic transmission member is disposed in another section of the profiled bore and is latchably secured therein by spring latching members secured in the housing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION According to the present invention, a housing member has a profiled bore extending therethrough in one section of which a ferrule member containing an electro-optic member is secured by a removable retaining clip member that also acts as a heat sink member.
Another ferrule member of a fiber optic connector terminated onto a fiber optic transmission member is disposed in another section of the profiled bore and is latchably secured therein by spring latching members secured in the housing.
According to another aspect of the present invention, the spring latching members have legs that are frictionally disposed in holes in a printed circuit board to secure the housing in position on the board prior to being soldered in place thereon.
