Abstract
In an optical connector device configured by a combination of an element-side optical connector 10 which accommodates an optical element D, and a fiber-side optical connector 30 which holds an optical fiber, an element accommodating housing member 11 of the optical connector 10, and a fiber holding housing member 31 of the optical connector 30 are formed by an electrically conductive resin. In a state where the optical connectors 10 and 30 are connected to each other, the fiber holding housing member 31 is electrically connected to the element accommodating housing member 11.
Claims6
An optical connector device comprising:
- an element-side optical connector having an element accommodating housing member in which an optical element is accommodated;
- and
- a fiber-side optical connector having a fiber holding housing member in which an optical fiber is held, wherein
- when said element-side optical connector and said fiber-side optical connector are connected to each other, a front end face of said optical fiber is opposed to a light receiving or emitting face of said optical element,
- in said fiber holding housing member, electrical conductivity is given at least to a portion which is capable to block electromagnetic waves that pass through a coupling portion between said optical fiber and said optical element in a state where said element-side optical connector and said fiber-side optical connector are connected to each other, and
- said conductivity-given portion is grounded via said element-side optical connector.
An optical connector comprising:
- a fiber holding housing member in which an optical fiber is held, and
- a portion which is connected to a counter optical connector, wherein
- in said fiber holding housing member, electrical conductivity is given at least to a region extending from a portion which is capable to block electromagnetic waves that pass through a coupling portion between an optical element in said counter optical connector and said optical fiber, and to said portion which is in contact with a counter element accommodating housing member, in a state where said optical connector and said counter optical connector are connected to each other.
An optical connector comprising:
- an element accommodating housing member in which an optical element is accommodated, and
- a portion which is connected to a counter optical connector, wherein
- in said element accommodating housing member, electrical conductivity is given at least to said portion which is in contact with a housing member of said counter optical connector, and
- said conductivity-given portion is grounded.
