An optical fiber connector component having a cylindrical light guide member ( 32 ) made of a transparent and elastic material, and a pipe ( 31 ) for housing the light guide member in the interior, wherein end surfaces ( 301 ) and ( 302 ) for connecting the light guide member with optical fibers are either convex or concave surfaces, and the distal end of the pipe protrudes past the connecting surfaces in the axial direction of the pipe. The radii of curvature of the connecting end surfaces of the light guide member differ from the radii of curvature of the distal end surfaces of the optical fibers. Therefore, when the distal ends of the optical fibers are inserted through the pipe and pressed against the connecting end surfaces of the light guide member, the connecting end surfaces deform, causing the contact areas to expand outward from the center, and air between the contact surfaces to be expelled.
