Abstract
An optical connector assembling method capable of preventing workability from worsening is provided. First, when assembling the optical connector, an optical cord () is passed through a rear housing (), an outer jacket holding member (), a securing member (), and a boot (), and an outer jacket () is removed from a leading end portion of the optical cord (), so as to expose a coated optical fiber () and a tension-resistant fiber (). A handled dust cap (A) is mounted to a ferrule member () holding a built-in fiber. Then, a fusion splicer fusion-splices the built-in fiber and the coated optical fiber () to each other. Thereafter, while the ferrule member () keeps the handled dust cap (A) mounted thereto, a plug housing () is assembled to the rear housing (). Then, the outer jacket holding member () and securing member () secure the outer jacket () and tension-resistant fiber () to the rear housing (), and the boot () is mounted to the securing member (). Finally, a handle () is cut off from the handled dust cap (A).
