Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the workability and yield at the time of manufacturing optical connector devices by connecting optical fibers to optical connector parts. SOLUTION: The respective optical fibers 8 juxtapsed at optical fiber ribbons 1 are inserted into the respective optical fiber insertion holes 9 of connectors 4 provided with four pieces of the optical fiber insertion holes 9 in juxtaposition and these optical fibers 8 and the connectors 4 are fixed. At this time, adhesives 3 having both of a thermosetting function and a UV curing function are applied as adhesives 3 on the window parts 14 and front end surface 11 sides of the connectors 4. The adhesives 3 are irradiated with the UV rays from a UV lamp, by which the adhesives 3 are partly cured and the optical fibers 8 are temporally fixed to the connectors 4. The connectors 4 are thereafter put into a heater in the state of this temporally fixing state to cure the adhesives 3 by heating, by which the optical fibers 8 are surely fixed to the connectors 4.
