Abstract
A stopperis fixed to an optical connector, and the optical connectoris accommodated in an opening sectionof a housing. The housingis engaged with the stopperso as to be displaceable with respect to the stopperby a predetermined amount in a direction of inserting the optical connectorto a receptacle, and the stopperis biased rearward by a coil springwith respect to the housing. The free end of a clip pieceis placed on the free end of a latch pieceof the optical connector, and the free end of the clip pieceis placed on an inclination surfaceat the front end of a concave sectionformed on an inner wall surface of the opening section. At the time of detachment from the receptacle, the housingis displaced in a direction to be pulled out against the biasing force of the coil spring. Accordingly, the clip pieceand the latch pieceare pushed down by the inclination surfaceto release the lock of the latch piece. The detachment from the receptacle can be made in one motion.
