Abstract
A method for stacking ferrules of a stacked-type optical connector wherein stacking portions for stacking are provided in corresponding positions of each ferrule, the individual ferrules are stacked with the corresponding individual stacking portions aligned, and a plurality of ferrules are simultaneously stacked up with stacking members which work in cooperation with those corresponding stacking portions in such a manner that the ferrules can practically float with a specific degree of freedom to allow a gap between the ferrules, and a stacked-type optical connector assembled according to this method.
