ABSTRACT:
In an optical connector, a holding member is coupled to a ferrule and attached to a housing. The ferrule has a flange portion brought into contact with the contact surface. The ferrule is adapted to receive an optical fiber. The housing has a contact surface and an engaging surface faced inward with respect to each other in an optical axis direction. The holding member includes a cylindrical main body for receiving the ferrule inserted therein, a first engaging portion connected to the main body and engaged with the engaging surface, and a second engaging portion connected to the main body and engaged with the flange portion, the second engaging portion being elastically deformable.
