ABSTRACT:
An optical connector fitted upon a tip end portion of an optical fiber ribbon and disposed to face an optical input and output terminators which are installed upon a substrate, and which optically connects between optical fibers of the optical fiber ribbon and each of the optical input and output terminators. The optical connector includes a block shaped connector main body which is disposed to face the optical input and output terminators. The connector main body includes a hollow optical fiber holding portion for holding mainly a coating portion of an optical fiber which is led generally in parallel with the surface of the substrate, a plurality of optical fiber apertures into which the tip end vicinity of the optical fibers are inserted and fixed and a concave spot for changing the optical axis comprising a reflective surface for changing the optical axis and formed in front of an exit of the optical fiber apertures, which causes the optical axis direction of the optical fiber to face the optical input and output terminators.
