Abstract

An optical connector plug incorporates a coil spring to bias a shutter holding member to the front side of an axial direction with respect to a plug frame and minimizes the entire length. The plug has a housing that includes a grip member and a shutter holding member that move relatively in the axial direction and the plug frame has an extension state in which the grip member moves to the rear side of the axial direction of the shutter holding member and a reduction state in which the grip member moves to the front side of the axial direction of the shutter holding member. A biasing member that biases the shutter holding member to the front side of the axial direction with respect to the plug frame and a biasing member receiving member that is connected to the plug frame are provided.
