ABSTRACT:
An optical connector including a ferrule having a butt end face at a front portion thereof and positioning holes formed at opposite sides of the ferrule in a widthwise direction of the ferrule. A plurality of optical fibers are coupled to the ferrule, and the optical connector is adapted to be abutted against another optical connector in an abutting direction. The positioning pin holes and the plurality of optical fibers are arranged in parallel with each other at least in the vicinity of the butt end face of the ferrule so that an arrangement plane of the plurality of optical fibers and the positioning pin holes is inclined at an inclination angle of .theta. with respect to a plane of the abutting direction, and so that a line where the butt end face and the arrangement plane cross each other is orthogonal to each axis of the plurality of optical fibers. The ferrule further includes a rear end portion arranged so that a pressing force is applied in a substantially vertical direction with respect to the butt end face when the optical connector is abutted against another optical connector and pressed in the abutting direction.
