Abstract
An optical connector includes a pair of optical connectors including a board-side connector and an opposite-side connector fitted with each other. The board-side connector includes an accommodating portion configured to internally fit with an opposite-side housing of the opposite-side connector and having an opening toward the front. The accommodating portion includes an elastically deformable shutter configured to elastically fall toward the back side of the accommodating portion to open the opening of the accommodating portion by being pressed by the opposite-side housing when the board-side connector and the opposite-side connector are fitted with each other. The shutter closes the opening of the accommodating portion when the housing and the opposite-side housing are detached from each other.
