A cover part of an optical fiber is sandwiched and pressed between a pressure welding blade and a bottom surface part. As a result of this, in a case where an external force which pulls out the optical fiber from a housing, movement of the optical fiber is suppressed by a pressing force, which makes it difficult for a ferrule to go away from a mating optical fiber. Thus, efficiency in communication with the mating optical connector can be improved.

Optical connector

A cover includes a body attached to a housing containing a terminal connected to an electric wire, and that includes an electric wire leading portion, and a lid to be fitted to the body. The cover includes a guide receiving portion on an outer surface of a distal end of one of the lid and the body, and a guide portion on a distal end of the other. The guide receiving portion has an inclined surface inclined toward an inner surface of the guide receiving portion along a fitting direction. The guide portion guides a distal end of the guide receiving portion. The guide portion protrudes outward perpendicularly to the fitting direction. The guide portion has an inclined surface on an inner surface of the distal end of the other of the lid and the body.
