A hybrid connector and a process for assembling the hybrid connector are provided, by which the assmbling operation can be simplified and optical element modules can be stably positioned so that the workability of the assembling operation is improved and the optical loss is reduced. The hybrid connector 1 is assembled by a process including first to third assembly steps. In the first assembly step, each sleeve 7 is provisionally inserted halfway through a receiving cylinder 19 of a housing 2. In the second assembly step, optical element modules 8 and 9 are pressed so that the sleeve 7 is further inserted into the receiving cylinder 19 to reach the completely inserted state. Each projection 35 of the optical element modules 8 and 9 engages with a hollow portion 23 of the receiving cylinder 19. In the third assembly step, a shielding case 10 holds the optical element modules 8 and 9 and engages with the receiving cylinder 19 so as to fix a position of the optical element modules 8 and 9. <IMAGE> |
