Abstract
An optical connector comprises a mount having an accommodating portion and an optical connector ferrule. The mount and the outer surface of the optical connector ferrule to be brought into contact therewith are made of the same kind of material, thereby securing the good weldability therebetween. In one embodiment, both the mount and the ferrule are made of an amorphous alloy. In another embodiment, the mount is made of a metal, for example stainless steel, and the ferrule comprises a body made of an amorphous alloy and a surface part covering the outer surface of the body is made of the same kind of material as the mount, i.e. a metal such as stainless steel.
