Abstract

In a plug-in connector for connecting elements mounted on a backage board to other elements arranged on a back wiring board disposed perpendicular to the package board, the guide pin and the connector housing fixing screw are formed integral with each other to realize a floating connector coupling structure which is high in mounting efficiency and precision and small in size. Further, the plug-in connector can connect two different, optical and electrical connectors. Further, there is disclosed a novel optical connector plug whose radial eccentricity direction can be matched with that of a mated optical connector jack with an optical fiber aligning jig to minimize the optical fiber coupling power loss.
