Abstract

Disclosed is an optical-connector fixing member including: an upper plate part for pressing, toward a receptacle provided on a substrate, a ferrule that holds an end section of an optical fiber; and a pair of engagement side plate parts formed so as to extend from the upper plate part toward the substrate, each engagement side plate part having a connector-side engagement section that engages with a receptacle-side engagement section formed on a side surface of the receptacle. An engaged state in which the connector-side engagement section is engaged with the receptacle-side engagement section is releasable by inserting an end section of a tool into a gap between each engagement side plate part and a member that is arranged between the pair of engagement side plate parts, and spreading each engagement side plate part outward.
