<p>An optical connector comprises a plug housing (20) having a joining cavity (22) with bosses (22a,22b) formed on the inside walls (20a), an optical fiber protection member (40) having a plate-shaped base (42) which can be inserted into and pulled from the joining cavity (22) and a header housing (60) having a joining protrusion (62) which fits into the joining cavity (22). When the plug housing (20) and the header housing (60) are not connected, the front end of the optical fiber (24) is located within a through opening of the optical fiber protection member (40) which thus protects the optical fiber from damage. Upon mating of the header housing (60) with the plug housing (20), the optical fiber protection member (40) is urged rearwardly into the plug housing (20) to expose the optical fiber (24). <IMAGE></p> |
