<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize improvement of workability when inserting a connector (plug) and improvement of reliability of the connector, in a plug-plug connection method. <P>SOLUTION: An optical connector 10 comprises: an engaging member 40 including a pair of elastic pieces 42 engaged to locking sections 116 on both sides of a receiving side optical connector 110 by projection pawls 49 at ends; and a cylindrical housing 50 extrapolated into the engaging member 40 to be movable forward and backward. The projection pawls 49 of the pair of elastic pieces 42 are engaged to the locking sections 116 on both the sides of the receiving side optical connector 110, and the housing 50 is moved forward in relation to the engaging member 40. Accordingly, the pair of elastic pieces 42 abut on an internal surface of the housing 50 to hold the engaging states of the projection pawls 49 of the pair of elastic pieces 42 to the receiving side optical connector 110. A connector connection system using the optical connector 10 is provided. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
