To provide an optical connector capable of inhibiting a substrate screwed to a connector housing from bending.SOLUTION: An optical connector 2 comprises: a substrate 3 to which a plurality of electronic components including an FOT 21 are soldered and which is screwed to a clamp face 71 of a connector housing 7; a plurality of spring members 5 interposed between the clamp face 71 and the substrate 3; and the connector housing 7 storing them. The spring member 4 comprises: a main plate part 51 positioned between the clamp face 71 and the substrate 3, with a screw 4 inserted therethrough; a first spring part 55 extending from the main plate part 51 toward the substrate 3 in a natural state; a second spring part 54 inclining and extending from the main plate part 51 toward the clamp face 71 in the natural state; an opposite plate part 52 opposite the main plate part 51 with the screw 4 being inserted therethrough; and a connection part 53 connecting the main plate part 51 and the opposite plate part 52.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 9 【課題】コネクタハウジングにネジ止めされる基板の撓みを抑制できる光コネクタを提供する。【解決手段】光コネクタ２は、ＦＯＴ２１を含む複数の電子部品がはんだ付けされ、コネクタハウジング７の取付面７１にネジ止めされた基板３と、取付面７１と基板３の間に介在している複数のバネ部材５と、これらを収容したコネクタハウジング７と、を備えている。バネ部材４は、取付面７１と基板３の間に位置し、ネジ４が通された主板部５１と、自然状態で主板部５１から基板３側に傾斜して延びる第１バネ部５５と、自然状態で主板部５１から取付面７１側に傾斜して延びる第２バネ部５４と、主板部５１と対向し、ネジ４が通された対向板部５２と、主板部５１と対向板部５２とを繋いだ連結部５３と、を備えている。【選択図】図９
