Abstract

The present invention provides an optical receptacle comprising a receptacle body having at least one coupling structure formed at a first side thereof. Each of the coupling structure comprises a first connecting structure having a terminal coupling portion and a pair of positioning grooves respectively formed at the two opposite sides of the terminal coupling portion. Each positioning groove further comprises an insertion groove and a fixing groove formed at a side of the insertion groove. Alternatively, in another embodiment, an optical connector module has the optical receptacle and a first connector. The first connector has a first coupling portion and a first positioning structure, wherein the first coupling portion is inserted into the insertion groove along an inserting direction, and is moved into the fixing groove through rotation whereby the first connector is locked in the receptacle body.
