An optical transmission line holding member includes a main body that
mechanically positions and holds an optical transmission line, and an
electrical interconnection used to mount an optical element. The main
body includes a holding hole which opens in one surface of the main body
and is used to mechanically position and hold the optical transmission
line, an guide hole which opens in another surface of the main body, has
a diameter larger than that of the holding hole and is coaxially aligned
with the holding hole, and a resin storage groove provided in the guide
hole. The electrical interconnection is formed on the surface in which
the holding hole opens.
