ABSTRACT:
In an optical connector in which a cable holder reciprocally movably accommodated within a connector housing is urged forward by springs to expose a front end of the holder from a front end of the connector housing, a pair of lock arms are disposed along the longitudinal side portions of the connector housing, and the lock arms are resiliently displaced inwardly at front ends thereof where retaining claws are formed, so as to cancel a connected state with an objective member and restored outwardly in order to obtain a connected state with the objective member, the optical connector is characterized in that the pair of lock arms are disposed along the longitudinal side surfaces of the cable holder, the springs are disposed in spaces formed between the lock arms and the longitudinal side surfaces of the cable holder, the lock arms and the cable holder are resiliently contacted with each other by the springs through inclined guides which are formed on one or both opposing places, the cable holder is pushed down backwardly against the springs through the inclined surfaces when the lock arms are resiliently displaced inwardly to cancel the connected relation, and the case holder is progressed forwardly urged by the springs to urgedly support the lock arms from inner sides thereof through the inclined guides when the lock arms are restored outwardly.
