One of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a fusion splicer capable of smoothly and satisfactorily fusing optical fibers whether operated from the front or the rear. A fusion splicer (10) comprises a pair of holder mounting parts (13) for placing optical fibers (12) against each other in a first direction (X), and a fusion splicing part (11) for fusion-splicing together the optical fibers (12) through use of a pair of electrodes (16) which face each other in a second direction (Y), each of the holder mounting parts (13) being provided with a base (51) fixed to a main body, and a positioning member (50) in which a base fitting part (65) for fitting with the base (51) is formed on the bottom side thereof, the positioning members (50) being capable of attaching to and detaching from both bases (51) by reversing orientation, and the center position of the base fitting part (65) in the width direction along the second direction (Y) being disposed on a straight line in the first direction (X) passing through the center position between the electrodes (16), when the base fitting part is fitted into either of the bases (51). |
