An optical connector includes an elongate housing. A partition wall is formed integral with and within the housing. The partition wall is formed with a sleeve holder and an elongate hole. When an engagement member is inserted into the housing, its leg is inserted through the elongate hole. An optical module is accommodated in a case by a spring member, and the case is in turn inserted in the housing. A split sleeve of the optical module is inserted in the sleeve holder, and the engaging member is held by the partition wall and the case. When an optical fiber connector plug is inserted in the housing, a ferrule is inserted into the sleeve and coupled to a rod lens of the optical module.
