ABSTRACT:
A connector which can be assembled easily with high accuracy and prevents the increase of the cost of each part includes a distinctively shaped lens constituting an optical system between independent optical devices. The lens is a lens that a support portion is integrally molded with an optically functioning portion as a sleeve for fixing a ferrule put on an end of an optical fiber at a predetermined position to insert the end of the optical fiber. The support portion protrudes along an optical axis of the optically functioning portion.
