Abstract

A light emitting module and a light receiving module are indirectly received in respective module receiving sections of a shield casing so as to set the modules in position in the shield casing. The shield casing is then mounted in an optical housing to assemble an optical connector. Positioning of the light emitting module and the light receiving module and their leads is easily attained. The operation for assembling the optical connector is facilitated.
