Abstract
An optical connector includes: a ferrule that holds a tip of an optical fiber; a housing that houses the ferrule; a coupling that releases a latched state of the optical connector by moving to a rear side of the optical connector with respect to the housing; and a tab member that includes an operation section disposed farther toward the rear side of the optical connector than the coupling, and that causes the coupling to move to the rear side of the optical connector with respect to the housing when the operation section is pulled. The tab member is latched from the inside of the coupling.
Claims8
An optical connector comprising:
- a ferrule that holds a tip of an optical fiber;
- a housing that houses the ferrule;
- a coupling that releases a latched state of the optical connector by moving to a rear side of the optical connector with respect to the housing, wherein the rear side is opposite to a front side of the optical connector that includes the tip of the optical fiber;
- and
- a tab member that includes an operation located disposed farther toward the rear side of the optical connector than the coupling, and that causes the coupling to move to the rear side of the optical connector with respect to the housing when the operation section is pulled, wherein
- the tab member is latched from the inside of the coupling.
