ABSTRACT:
A first guiding mechanism is formed by the interior shape of an engagement portion of a plug housing and the exterior shape of an engagement portion of a receptacle housing, to be guided and inserted into the engagement portion. A second guiding mechanism is formed by guide posts and guide holes. A third guiding mechanism is formed by the interior shape of the engagement portion of the receptacle housing and the exterior shapes of first multi core ferrules of the plug side optical connector, to be inserted into the engagement portion of the receptacle housing. A fourth guiding mechanism is formed by guide pins of second multi core ferrules and guide pin apertures, for receiving the guide pins of the first multi core ferrules. The first, second, third, and fourth guiding mechanisms operate in this order during engagement of a receptacle side optical connector and a plug side optical connector.
