Abstract
In a state where an optical connector is mounted and fixed to a circuit board, a grounding piece formed on a shield case is pressed against a grounding wiring pattern formed on the circuit board by a fixing piece formed on a connector housing. A spring piece is formed by cutting and raising a part of the grounding piece into a strip-like shape while remaining another part to be uncut, and then bending the raised part into a substantially V-like shape. In the state where the optical connector is mounted and fixed to the circuit board, the spring piece is interposed between the fixing piece and the circuit board while being elastically deformed to be flattened.
