Abstract
A connector housing includes a housing including a front end portion, a base end portion having end opening, and an inner cavity portion extending from the front end portion to the base end portion and formed such that a front portion of a flexible optical waveguide having band shape is inserted from the end opening into the cavity to the front end portion. The cavity has a length that extends in longitudinal direction of the waveguide, a width that extends in width direction of the waveguide, and a height that extends in thickness direction of the waveguide, and the housing has a pair of walls forming a pair of inner surfaces facing each other in the cavity such that the inner surfaces is gradually increasing a separation distance between the inner surfaces in the thickness direction of the waveguide toward base end side of the housing at the end opening.
