The present invention relates to a spring clip for holding the connection sides of optical units in contact with one another, said optical units including guide pins and optical coupling surfaces. The clip includes a main part from which hooked members project out generally at right angles. A first and a second hooked member are adapted to snap firmly over a first optical unit, whereas a third hooked member is adapted to urge an optical connection side on a second optical unit against an optical connection side on the first optical unit.
