Abstract
An optical connector includes a printed circuit board, a photoelectric element, a positioning element, and a lens element. The positioning element is positioned on the printed circuit board and covers the photoelectric element. The positioning element includes a top surface facing away from the printed circuit board, and defines a through hole in a top surface thereof to expose the photoelectric element. The positioning element also includes a mark system formed on the top surface for facilitating alignment between the positioning element and the photoelectric element. The lens element is positioned on the positioning element and includes a first surface facing the photoelectric element, and a first lens aligned with the photoelectric element.
