Abstract
A fixing structure for optical connectors consists of a circuit board, a receptacle having a conductive housing shieldingly connected to the circuit board, the housing having an integral fixing portion with a prepared hole formed therein, and a screw passed through the circuit board and screwed in the prepared hole to fix the housing to the circuit board. The fixing portion has a sealing wall closing the prepared hole at a distal end thereof and an enclosed shaving receiver formed in the prepared hole, between the sealing wall and the screw. A short circuit is prevented which is caused by shavings produced when the screw is screwed in the prepared hole.
