PURPOSE:To provide an optical connector with rotation stopping function to attain highly accurate optical coupling by forming a positioning means and a rotation stopping means for a ferrule on the inside of an optical connector body. CONSTITUTION:The ferrule 3 connecting and fixing the optical fiber 12 is inserted into a male side optical connector body 1 and a rotation stopping claw 14 of a bush 13 is engaged with the grooves of the ferrule 3 and a bush 9 to position the ferrule 3 on the body 1 and to stop the rotation of the bush 13. On the other hand, the rotation of the connector body 1 and a housing 2 is checked through a recessed part 5a on the outside of the connector. A female side connector is similarly constituted, the male and female connectors are engaged with each other and a prescribed claw is engaged with the groove of the ferrule 3. Consequently, the rotation stopping function can be obtained and highly accurate optical coupling can be obtained by engaging the male and female connectors each other. |
