Abstract

An optical connector is provided which is capable of enhancing the working property of connection of an optical fiber by a relatively simple structure. Front housing (5) includes cantilever-like operation lever (12) having base portion (13a) fixed to a wall portion and also having forward end portion (13) continued to base portion (13a) and extended to rear housing (6) along the wall portion, and fiber grip unit (25) provided in rear housing (6) includes grip element (26) having a pair of holding pieces rising from both sides of the base portion and holding core wire portion (43) of optical fiber (40) and fiber grip unit (25) also includes operation cap (27) which is pushed into element accommodating chamber (22) when it is pushed by forward end portion (13b) of operation lever (12) and which has pair of leg portions (27b) for holding a pair of holding pieces of grip element (26) from both sides when operation cap (27) is pushed into element accommodating chamber (22).
