Abstract

A dual-use coaxial optical fiber connector comprises a main body, a spring, an assembly seat and a dust-proof cover. An assembly seat is provided with assembling bevels and locking holes which are used to engage with the assembling grooves and the locking elements of the main body, so as to enable the assembly seat to be more firmly assembled on the main body. Furthermore, the main body is provided with a spring seat which is specially designed for accommodation of a spring so as to prevent the loss of the spring during assembly. The spring is accommodated in the spring seat of the main body so as to push the dust-proof cover to seal the assembling hole of the assembly seat, thus the optical fiber connector can be prevent from dust.
