An optical connector according to the present invention has a ferrule body provided
with a fiber positioning hole, a pair of guide holes into which guide pins are
inserted, and a connecting end face in which ends of the fiber positioning hole
and guide holes open. A chamfer portion equivalent to a part of a surface of a
body of revolution is formed at each guide hole on the connecting end face side.
Further, the connecting end face is formed at an angle relative to a plane normal
to the center axes of the pair of guide holes. In this structure, the slope of
the connecting end face can suppress degradation of connection loss, and the provision
of the chamfer portions can facilitate insertion of the guide pins, prevent damage
of the connecting end face due to the guide pins, and also suppress degradation
of connection loss due to the damage.
