案されている（特開平４−２１５６０７号）。2. Description of the Related Art A plurality of optical connectors are collectively integrated by using laminated pins for the purpose of simultaneously connecting a plurality of optical connectors with other optical connectors by abutting them. A ferrule stacking method and a stacking type optical connector have been proposed in which a pair of integrated stacking type optical connectors are butt-jointed and collectively connected by an elastic clip attached to the side surface of each ferrule.

が紛失し易いという問題があった。The stacking method and the stacking type optical connector have an advantage that a plurality of optical connectors can be stacked compactly as compared with a method of stacking a plurality of optical connectors in a housing. However, in this stacking method and the stacked optical connector, the retaining ring is used to prevent the stacked pins from coming off, and since the retaining ring is a small component due to its configuration, the attaching and detaching work is complicated when stacking the optical connectors. There was a problem that parts were easily lost.

しまうという問題があった。Further, in the above-mentioned stacking method and stacking type optical connector, a clip is used to hold the stacked state of a set of stacking type optical connectors that are butted against each other and collectively connected. However, each optical connector forming the laminated optical connector has a shape close to a rectangle so that the ferrules can be easily laminated. Therefore, when a clip is attached to a set of stacked optical connectors that are connected together, the end of each optical connector may be chipped due to the elastic force acting from the clip, and the pressing force in the butt direction decreases. Alternatively, there is a problem that a plurality of laminated optical connectors are displaced in the laminating direction or the butt direction.

持具。2. A plurality of ferrules are collectively laminated with a slight degree of freedom in a laminating direction by laminating pins which are inserted into laminating holes formed at corresponding positions on both sides of each ferrule of a plurality of optical connectors, and the laminating is performed. A pair of laminated optical connectors assembled by detachably attaching a retaining plate to the ends of the pins and abutting against each other and collectively connected to the rear portion of the ferrule via a guide portion formed at the rear portion of each ferrule. It has a pressing portion that elastically abuts and presses the corresponding ferrules in the butting direction, and a restricting piece that locks to each ferrule and restricts misalignment in the stacking direction, and is attached to or detached from the side portion of each ferrule. The set of stacked optical devices includes a plurality of locking members that are freely mounted, and an aligning member and a holding member that are detachably engaged with each other and hold the locking members at predetermined intervals. A laminated state connector for a laminated optical connector, which is integrally attached to a connector and holds the set of laminated optical connectors that are collectively connected in a laminated state.
