PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical module which is made greatly compact, makes both an optical connection and an electric connection through attachment and detachment perpendicular to a wiring board surface, effectively holds an optical transmission body with a simple connector shape, and is manufactured at low cost. SOLUTION: The optical module comprises an upper structure 5 having a holding member 6 etc., holding the optical transmission body, an optical element mounted substrate 30 disposed on a wiring board 70 and electrically connected to the wiring board 70 detachably in the vertical direction, and a mounting body provided on the wiring board 70 such that the optical transmission body of the upper structure 5 is optically connected to an optical element 40 of the optical element mounted substrate 30. A holding member 6 of the upper structure 5 comprises a lower member 20 and an upper member 10. The lower member 20 has a holding portion 201 having an arcuately continuous curved surface. The upper member 10 has a guide portion 101 having a curved surface corresponding to the curved surface of the holding portion 201 of the lower member 20 or a curved surface having a V-sectioned guide groove formed to the curved surface.
