OPTICAL CONNECTOR

摘要

As a cylindrical optical connector, an optical connector includes a pushing member that has a structure that is suitable for holding a coil spring in the optical connector, and that has a structure that, even if clockwise or counterclockwise twisting occurs with respect to an axial direction of the optical connector, properly restricts rotation of the pushing member and, thus, does not allow disengagement of the pushing member caused by an applied force resulting from the rotation of the pushing member to easily occur.

主权项

1. An optical connector comprising:
a ferrule that is connected to an optical fiber cable; a fitting section that holds a front end portion of the ferrule therein and that is fitted to a mating optical connector; an elastic member that is disposed at a back end portion of the ferrule; an accommodation section that accommodates the ferrule and the elastic member therein; and a pushing member that pushes the elastic member into the accommodation section and that is mounted in the accommodation section, wherein the accommodation section includes a retaining section that protrudes from an inner wall of the accommodation section, wherein the pushing member includes a lock section for receiving the retaining section, and wherein, when the pushing member is mounted in the accommodation section, the lock section is fixed by being pushed against the retaining section by an elastic force of the elastic member accommodated in the accommodation section.
