A PC connector is provided which prevents a plug (2) from being rotated relative to a receptacle (6) and can maintain an optimal positional relation between the forward ends of two fibre optic ferrules. The optical connector includes, in addition to the plug and the receptacle, a coil spring (8) anchored between the plug and the receptacle. The plug is latched to the receptacle in a predetermined rotation position. The spring (8) has one end portion (8a) extending along an axial direction of the plug and the other end portion (8b) extending in a direction perpendicular to that one end. Due to the engagement of the one end portion of the spring with an engaging groove (12) and engagement of that other end portion of the spring with a minor cutout (18c) of the receptacle, an urging rotation force of the spring acts only in one direction upon the plug so that the plug is maintained in a predetermined rotation position relative to the receptacle. |
