Optical connector, male connector housing for optical connector, and female connector housing for optical connector

摘要

Guiding convexed and concaved parts provided on inner side surfaces of a female connector housing have inclining surfaces inclining with respect to a direction perpendicular to the inner side surfaces; whereas guided convexed and concaved parts provided on outer side surfaces of a male connector housing have inclining surfaces facing the inclining surfaces of the guiding convexed and concaved parts.

主权项

1. An optical connector, comprising:
a male connector housing to which optical transmission path-related members forming an optical transmission path are assembled; and a female connector housing for allowing the male connector housing to be inserted thereinto; wherein: at least one of outer side surfaces of the male connector housing has a guided convexed and concaved part extending in a direction in which the male connector housing is inserted; an inner side surface of the female connector housing, corresponding to the at least one of outer side surfaces in a state where the male connector housing is inserted into the female connector housing, has a guiding convexed and concaved part extending in the direction in which the male connector housing is inserted, the guiding convexed and concaved part being engageable with the guided convexed and concaved part to guide the male connector housing in the direction in which the male connector housing is inserted; the guiding convexed and concaved part has an inclining surface inclining with respect to a direction perpendicular to the inner side surface; and the guided convexed and concaved part has a counter inclining surface facing the inclining surface.
