OPTICAL CONNECTOR, OPTICAL TRANSMISSION MODULE, AND PLUG FOR OPTICAL CONNECTOR

摘要

An optical connector has a receptacle which is fastened on a substrate provided with an optical waveguide, and a plug which holds an optical fiber and is positioned with respect to the receptacle. In the receptacle, an exposing opening for exposing an end face of the optical waveguide and a pin hole which opens in an opening direction of the exposing opening are provided. The plug has a facing surface facing the receptacle; a protruding part which protrudes from the facing surface, is formed integrally with the facing surface, exposes the an end face of the optical fiber on its front end face, and is inserted into the exposing opening; and the pin which is provided on the facing surface and is fitted in the pin hole. The front end face of the protruding part is located further toward an insertion direction side than a front end of the pin.
