Abstract
It is an object to obtain an optical connector capable of implementing a more reduction in a cost of a work for carrying out an assembly into a site optical fiber, and a method of assembling the optical connector. An almost sheet-like protecting memberfor transmitting a light in a predetermined refractive index is stuck to a tip surface of a ferrulehaving a fiber inserting holepenetrating therethrough with the fiber inserting holecovered, and an optical fiberpositioned by a positioning mechanismto be coupled to a rear part of the ferrulehas a tip surface inserted through the fiber inserting holeof the ferruleto abut on the protecting memberwith an elastic force.
