Abstract
An optical connection component enables rotational positioning of a ferrule while avoiding complication of a structure, and includes an optical connector and an adapter. The optical connector includes an optical fiber, a ferrule assembly having a ferrule and a holding portion with a flange, a housing, and an elastic member, and the adapter includes an alignment sleeve. In a state in which the optical connector and the adapter are not engaged with each other, the flange is biased by the elastic member to be rotatable about the ferrule's a central axis. In an axis misalignment state in which the ferrule's front end portion and the alignment sleeve are in contact with each other and the ferrule's outer peripheral surface is in contact with the housing's flat surface, the flange is biased by the elastic member.
