Abstract

The present invention provides a fiber optic connector comprising a fiber pressing member and a substrate having a part A with multiple fiber arranging grooves in which bare portion of optical fibers are fixed, and a part B in which coated portion of optical fibers are fixed, and its manufacturing method. The connector enables to prevent an increase in transmission loss or breakage of the optical fibers by reducing the localized stress on the fibers from the rear end of the fiber pressing member and the rear end edge of the fiber arranging grooves.
