Board-mounted optical connector

摘要

A board-mounted optical connector is provided which enables high-density wiring of optical fibers on a board. The board-mounted optical connector is a board-mounted optical connector having a housing comprising: a first housing component, and a second housing component. The first housing component has a housing space accessible through an opening formed in at least a portion of a side wall and houses portions of optical fiber members that are partially laid along the top surface of a board and are bent at nearly right angle to the board together with an optical component connected to the optical fiber members in the housing space through the opening. The second housing component is attached to the first housing component and can close the opening of the housing space with the portions of the optical fiber members and the optical component connected to the optical fiber members housed in the first housing component.
