Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an optoelectric compound connector of simple structure at low cost by providing a ferrule with the functions of an electric connector. CONSTITUTION:A housing 10 made of an insulator is fixed to an end part of a composite cable 1 and a ferrule 11 made of conductive metal is provided to a terminal of an optical fiber 2 led out of the composite cable 1 in a housing 10. An insulated wire 3 led out of the composite cable 1 is fixed to the housing 10 by a metallic connector 13 made of conductive metal and a compression coil spring 12 for elastic pressing against the end surface of the opposite ferrule is provided to the end surface of the ferrule 11. Consequently, while the ferrule 11 is inserted into the sleeve 22 of an adapter 20, the end surface of the ferrule 11 is pressed elastically against the end surface of the ferrule of the other optoelectric compound connector inserted from the other side with the elastic force of the compression coil spring 12. A couple of ferrules are inserted into the axial hole 23 of the sleeve 22 of the adapter and contact each other elastically, so there is no shift in axis and the degree of photocoupling is high.
