Summary:In order to bond an opto-electronic device with fiber pigtails to a larger PCB, the fibers need to be secured in place so that they don't become entangled in the bonding elements resulting in misalignment of the electronic connectors and of the optics. Accordingly, there is a need for packaged parts, which enables customers to use their own surface mount technology (SMT) bonding process without the fiber pigtails interfering with the process. Ideally, the fiber holder device is disposable and provides a spool and a fiber track to guide the fibers from the package to the spool. Ideally, an opening is provided through the spool to enable the components on the opto-electronic device to be accessed.
