To reduce the number of components, to shorten a packaging tact time and to reduce cost in an optical connector to which two optical fibers are connected for receiving light and for emitting light.
The optical connector 1 is equipped with a light receiving-end lens block 2A for which a photodiode 31 is molded with a transparent resin 33, a light emitting-end lens block 2B for which a light emitting diode 34 is molded with the transparent resin 33, a light receiving-end substrate 3A in which a circuit is formed for processing a signal from the photodiode 31, a light emitting-end substrate 3B in which a circuit is formed for processing a signal for making the light emitting diode 34 emit light, and a housing 4. The housing 4 is provided with a light receiving sleeve 22 for connecting a light receiving optical fiber 11 and a light emitting sleeve 23 for connecting a light emitting optical fiber 12. The light receiving-end substrate 3A and the light emitting-end substrate 3B are integrated into one unit and stored in the housing 4.
