ABSTRACT:
There are provided a connector body having an accommodating recess in which a pair of ferrules and a pair of springs, respectively fitted over a pair of optical fibers, are accommodated, as well as a connector cover. The connector cover is provided with fixing pins, and the connector body is provided with fixing holes into which the fixing pins are press fitted. A spring pressing portion is provided on the connector cover for pressing the spring with a natural length in the direction toward its distal end at two positions when the fixing pins are press fitted into the fixing holes, and for holding the spring in a compressed state when the fixing pins have been press fitted. A guide taper is formed at a tip of the spring pressing portion. A pressing-portion fitting groove for inserting and guiding the spring pressing portion is provided in the connector body.
