<p>Disclosed is an optical connector with which there is reduced loss and increased light transmission efficiency. Taking a divergence angle between an axial centerline (O-O) and a straight line (P) connecting a base portion (P1) of a flange portion (22c) that projects sidewards from a side of a light conducting path (22A) formed as a sleeve (22) and a maximum outer dimension portion (P2) of a lens (22B) as (O), then when the divergence angle (O) is set at no less than 30º and less than 90º, light emitted from the lens (22B) can be detected by a photoreceptor (21) without leak therefrom even in proximity of the maximum outer dimension of the lens (22B) away from the axial centerline (O-O). Accordingly, the loss of the optical connector as a whole can be reduced and the transmission efficiency thereof can be increased.</p> |
