Abstract
In an optical connector ferrule, a side surface of the front end portion is connected to a front end surface of the front end portion and extends in a direction intersecting the front end surface. The flange portion is connected to the front end portion on an opposite side of the front end surface. The flange portion protrudes from the front end portion in a direction along the front end surface. An optical fiber hole opens in the front end surface and extends in an intersecting direction intersecting the front end surface. The window opens in the side surface. A shortest distance between a connection position where the flange portion and the front end portion are connected to each other and a portion which is closest to the front end surface in the edge is less than or equal to a width of the flange portion in the intersecting direction.
