Optical connector

Abstract

An optical connector includes: a ferrule; a housing that houses a floating mechanism that retractably presses the ferrule; a coupling attached to an outside of the housing; and a boot attached to a rear side of a spring push of the floating mechanism. The spring push includes: a tube part; a flange section formed on an outer circumference of the tube part; a groove part formed closer to a front side of the tube part than the flange section; and a projection that protrudes outward from a portion of an outer surface of the groove part. The boot includes: a claw part that is formed on a front edge of a front opening of the boot and that hooks onto the groove part; and a recess that is formed in the front edge of the front opening of the boot and that engages with the projection.
