<p>When connecting an optical connector to an optical connector adaptor, there is a demand to position the optical connector with high precision while maintaining connection workability. The optical connector of this invention has a key (33) for positioning the optical connector around an axis of the optical connector adaptor (22) by inserting the key (33) into a key groove (23) of the optical connector adaptor (22), and a spring structure which can elastically deform in the groove width direction of the key groove. Therefore, unsteadiness of the key can be prevented by pressingly inserting the key (33) into the key groove (23), increasing the precision of the positioning. Furthermore, since a difference in the groove width of the key groove can be absorbed by the range of elastic deformation of the key, the optical connector is universally applicable for different groove widths depending on the type of an optical connector adaptor. <IMAGE></p> |
