Abstract
A backplane optical connector includes a first connector secured to a backplane and a second connector mounted on a daughter board. The first connector includes a first optical input-output part, guide holes, and a shutter. The shutter is a plate that covers the first optical input-output part when the daughter board is not inserted. The second connector includes guide pins, a pressing part, and a second optical input-output part. The guide pins first make contact with the first connector and are inserted into the guide holes. The pressing part pivots the shutter after degrees of freedom of the second connector are restricted by the guide pins and the guide holes. There is a space for accommodating the pivoted shutter between the pressing part and the second optical input-output part. The pressing part does not make contact with the first connector until the pressing part makes contact with the shutter.
