FERRULE FOR OPTICAL CONNECTOR, MOLD FOR FERRULE, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING FERRULE FOR OPTICAL CONNECTOR, AND METHOD OF TESTING FERRULE FOR OPTICAL CONNECTOR

摘要

A ferrule (1A) for an optical connector is attached to one end of an optical fiber core (2) to form an optical connector (Ca). The optical connector (Ca) has a connector surface (11) opposed to another optical connector (Cb) to be connected. The connector surface (11) includes an opening (13) for receiving the optical fiber and a pair of guide pins (10) for determining the position relative to the optical connector (Cb). The ferrule (1A) is integrally formed of a resin. The optical connector thus formed exhibits a good transmission characteristic, while the ferrule for the optical connector is easy to manufacture.
