ABSTRACT:
An object of the present invention is to provide an optical connector capable of preventing impairment of PC connections by a hard sleeve during PC connection of optical connectors having a hard sleeve installed in engaging pin holes thereof. The optical connector has a ferrule formed with integrally molded plastic and having engaging pin holes, and a hard sleeve installed in the engaging pin holes and having a hardness that is higher than the plastic of the ferrule. The hard sleeve and the plastic of the ferrule surrounding this hard sleeve are polished so as to be lower than the coupling end surface, and the end of the hard sleeve does not protrude beyond the coupling end surface.
