<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an optical connector which does not have a problem that an engagement pin can not be inserted into a pin hole when positioned. <P>SOLUTION: The optical connector main body 5 of the optical connector 1 is provided with a circular cross-sectional engagement pin 15 projected toward a counterpart optical component and a U-shaped groove 16 on both sides interposing the optical input/output part 17 of the optical connector main body 5 as a positioning means of the counterpart optical component. When the optical connector 1 is installed on an optoelectric compound substrate on which an optical device is mounted, for example, the optical connector is positioned with resect to the optical device on the substrate by engaging the circular cross-sectional engagement pin 15 with a circular hole provided on the substrate and the rectangular cross-sectional projected part provided on the substrate with a U-shaped cross-sectional groove 16. In the case of a conventional structure for positioning by two engagement pins and pin holes, there may occur a problem that the engagement pins can not be inserted into the holes of the counterpart optical component due to poor accuracy of the pitch of the two pin holes, however the present optical connector has one position of engagement of the engagement pin and the pin hole and the other is the engagement between the U-shaped groove and the rectangular cross-sectional projected part, and thus such a problem does not occur. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
