Abstract

Disclosed is a connector holder including: a base body part; a pair of side wall parts that projects from the base body part; and a connector housing part that is formed by the base body part and the pair of side wall parts, and that is for housing an optical connector body which holds an end section of an optical fiber. A recess is formed in an inner surface of each of the side wall parts, the recesses being formed so as to oppose one another. A gap is formed between a side surface of the optical connector body and each recess when the optical connector body is housed in the connector housing part.

Claims

1. A connector holder comprising

a base body part,

a pair of side wall parts that projects from said base body part, and

a connector housing part that is formed by said base body part and said pair of side wall parts, and that is for housing an optical connector body which holds an end section of an optical fiber, wherein:

a recess is formed in an inner surface of each of said side wall parts, said recesses being formed so as to oppose one another; and

a gap is formed between a side surface of said optical connector body and each said recess when said optical connector body is housed in said connector housing part.

2. The connector holder according to claim 1, wherein a tapered surface is formed to each said recess.

3. The connector holder according to claim 1, wherein:

said connector holder further comprises a lid that sandwiches, between itself and said base body part, said optical connector body housed in said connector housing part; and

said lid includes a pressing section that presses said optical connector body toward said base body part.

4. The connector holder according to claim 3, wherein said lid includes an engagement section that engages with a body-side engagement section provided to each of said side wall parts.
