  • Optical module housing uses grade aluminum alloy

    Optical module housing uses grade aluminum alloy

    A380 aluminum alloy is used and high pressure die casting is used to improve material density and reduce porosity defects. The housing is not easily deformed under impact or continuous loading. Focus on controlling the dimensional accuracy of key mating interfaces and the flatness of contact surfaces, and structurally ensure the connection stability of optical modules during high-speed transmission and repeated insertion cycles. These modules are essential for converting electrical signals into light signals and vice versa, forming the backbone of fiber optic communication systems in data centers. Furthermore, the choice of materials in die casting, such as aluminum and zinc alloys, adds significant value to the optical module housing. Think of it as the chassis or skeleton of the module. Inside, delicate elements like the laser transmitter, photodiode receiver, driver ICs. Aluminium alloys obtained by rapid solidification process have been successfully used for manufacturing optical mirrors.
