An optical connector assembly has several optical and electrical connectors mounted in mateable rectangular housings. Each optical connector is resiliently mounted in an alignment sleeve by means of a spring clip encircling the connector and contacting the sleeve. The alignment sleeves are themselves resiliently mounted in passages through the housings by spring clips encircling the sleeves and contacting passages within which the sleeves are mounted.
