Abstract
An optical connector includes: a base substrate; an optical device on the base substrate; an optical fiber optically aligned with the optical device; and a reflective injection-molded part arranged on the base substrate to cover the optical device and providing a reflective surface in an optical path between the optical device and the optical fiber, wherein the reflective injection-molded part includes: a prism providing the reflective surface; an alignment leg supporting the prism in a state in which the prism is at a height from the base substrate; a main block on a side of the prism, the side of the prism being opposite the base substrate; and a plurality of support ribs branching off at intermittent positions along the main block and supporting the prism with respect to the main block.
