ABSTRACT:
A photoelectric composite connector comprises a first connector unit which is connected to optical transmission means and a second connector unit which can be attached to and detached from a first connector unit freely. The first connector unit comprises a photoelectric conversion module and an electrical connector section having a first conductor which is electrically connected to the photoelectric conversion module. The second connector unit is formed as an electrical connector unit corresponding to the electrical connector section of the first connector unit and having a second conductor. The first conductor of the electrical connector section of the first connector unit and the second conductor of the second connector unit are electrically connected to each other when the electrical connector section of the first connector unit and the second connector unit are connected to each other by use of their electrical connector structures.
