Abstract
Provided is an optical connector whose miniaturization is easier than conventional. An optical connector () comprises a housing () holding an optical member (), a slider () slidably held by the housing (), a shutter () provided to the slider () in an openable and closable manner and adapted to be opened and closed to expose and isolate the optical member () to and from the outside, and slider-side coil springs () pushing the slider () in a direction away from the housing (). The slider-side coil springs () are disposed in a width direction of the shutter (). The optical connector () is configured such that the shutter () is closed when the slider () is moved by an elastic force of the slider-side coil springs () in the direction (direction A) away from the housing () and that the shutter () is opened when the slider () is moved against the elastic force of the slider-side coil springs () in a direction approaching the housing ().
