PURPOSE:To obtain an optical connector where elements are fixed completely and the assembling work is easy, by melt-fixing a housing and a press plate with ultrasonic waves. CONSTITUTION:Respective lead wires 23 and 24 of a light emitting diode 3 and a photodiode 4 are inserted to through holes 20 of a press plate 5. Both diodes 3 and 4 are fitted into element storage chambers 15 of a plastic housing 2, and simultaneously, projections 11, 12, 13, and 14 for melt-fixing are inserted to through holes 16, 17, 18, and 19 of the press plate 5 and are protruded to the rear face of the press plate 5. A tool horn 25 of an ultrasonic melt-fixing device is held against projections 11, 12, 13, and 14 for melt-fixing, and contact faces between projections 11-14 for melt-fixing and through holes 16-19 are heated, and they are melt-fixed instantaneously to make the housing 2 and the press plate 5 into one body. By this invention, an optical connector is obtained where finishing of junction parts is beautiful and the reliability of fixing is high and the work efficiency is high. |
