Optical connector and method of manufacturing a pair of ferrules therefor.

摘要

An optical connector (K1) for joining exposed fiber ends (2) of coated fibers (1) and a method of manufacturing a pair of ferrules (17) for the optical connector (K1). The optical connector (K1) includes a pair of the ferrules (17) each having a flange (16), the coated fiber (1) and a metal pipe (11) molded integrally with one another by using molding resin (12), a coupling pin (10) fitted through holes (8) of the ferrules (17), a sleeve (9) for receiving the metal pipes (11) of the ferrules (17), and a housing member for axially clamping the ferrules (17) to each other.
