Abstract
The object of this invention is to provide an optical connector modulein which the possibility of scraped wastes to exist between the lens and the tip face of the optical fiber is less and which has high optical coupling efficiency. The optical connector modulecomprises: an optical fiberhaving a coreand a plastic claddingmade of a first resin; a positioning devicemade of a second resin and including a fixing portionin which the optical fiberis inserted; and a lens, wherein the hardness of the second resin is higher than that of the first resin. The tip faceof a glass coremay protrude from the tip faceof the claddingtoward the bottom face, or otherwise the tip faceof the claddingmay protrude from the tip faceof the glass coretoward the bottom face
