A typical photo-in crafter that has been used in the past is shown in FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b), and consists of a light-emitting element II and a light-receiving element 12 that are arranged in a mutually oriented manner. , the light receiving element detects the transmission/blocking state of light at the interval r (r) between these pendulums, and converts it into an electrical signal. A light emitting element 11 and a light receiving element 12 arranged by predetermined honding are molded and fixed with transparent resin 4 of each party, and a light emitting element part 16 and a light receiving element part 17 are formed, respectively, with a convex lens 15 arranged in the optical path direction. Form. After that, in order to prevent the light effect of the upper convex lens 15 and to have a light-shielding effect that looks like ambient light, a suitable transparent resin film 8 and opaque resin film 9 are combined to form the light emitting element section 16 and the light receiving element. At the same time as the portion 17 is bent, a connecting portion 20 is formed to fix the light emitting element 11 and the light receiving element 12 so as to face each other.

However, in the case of a so-called transfer mold, the example using a mold is limited by the mold, and a convex lens 15 with a shoulder structure is integrated into the light emitting element part 16 and the light receiving element s17 as shown in FIG. Could not be molded. In other words, in resin sealing methods for large tumors such as transfer molding, a two-part mold is used, but since the lead frame comes out from both sides of the photo-in crafter, the pair of molds sandwich the lead frame 13. Under these conditions, it is impossible to simultaneously form the convex lens 15 facing the connecting part 2o as shown in the photo in the photo in crafter, and the optical no. It was difficult to increase the transmission efficiency. However, when installing convex lenses that face each other as shown in the figure, the distance between the elements, lens dimensions, etc. will vary greatly, but with a normal photointerchanger, it will be 2 to 3 times smaller than one without a convex lens. The optical signal transmission efficiency is improved by 10 times.
