Abstract

An optical connector (10) of the present invention includes housing position correction means for correcting displacement of relative positions between plug and jack housings (13, 16); housing connection means (20, 22) which engage with each other to connect the plug and jack housings (13, 16) to each other so that a coupling state between first and second optical fibers (11, 14) can be maintained; connection release means (26, 27) capable of releasing the connected state by the housing connection means (20, 22); and frame position correction means for correcting displacement of relative positions between a frame (21) of an optical plug (12) and a connection block (34) of an optical jack (15).
