An opto-electric apparatus includes a circuit board, an opto-electric converter module with a plurality of electrical leads, a holder rigidly holding the opto-electric converter module, and a connection structure. The holder is rigidly fixed to the circuit board, and the connection structure is rigidly connected to the holder. The leads of the module protrude into holes in the structure. The structure electrically connects the circuit board to the leads.
