Abstract

An optical component assembly includes a light-guiding member; a cylindrical member which retains the light-guiding member in a through hole thereof; and a projection which is provided at one end of the cylindrical member so as to extend beyond an outer periphery of the cylindrical member, and is engageable in a groove which is formed in a cylindrical shell so as to extend in an axial direction of the cylindrical shell and then turn at a distal end thereof in a circumferential direction of the cylindrical shell. By fixing the cylindrical shell to the projection, the cylindrical shell becomes attachable and detachable. It is possible to provide an optical receptacle and a transceiver module for optical communications having easy removal of foreign matters.
