PHOTOELECTRIC COMPOSITE CONNECTOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable compaction and thinning.SOLUTION: In a photoelectric composite connector consisted of two connectors comprising at least one optical connection and at least two electrical connections, respectively, one of the electrical connections to be connected with each other is a pin 32, and the other is a spring contact 44b. The connector (receptacle 40) having the spring contact 44b has a positioning hole 42d, into which the pin 32 is inserted, in front of the spring contact 44b. Electrical connection is made when the tip of the pin 32 comes into contact with the spring contact 44b, and positioning for optical connection is made when the bottom of the pin 32 is fitted in the positioning hole 42d. Need for a guide pin dedicated to positioning for optical connection is eliminated. 【課題】小型化、薄型化を可能とする。【解決手段】少なくとも１つの光接続部と、少なくとも２つの電気接続部をそれぞれ有する２つのコネクタからなる光電複合コネクタにおいて、互いに接続される電気接続部の一方をピン３２とし、他方をばね接点４４ｂとする。ばね接点４４ｂを有するコネクタ（レセプタクル４０）はばね接点４４ｂの前方にピン３２が挿入される位置決め穴４２ｄを備え、ピン３２の先端がばね接点４４ｂと接触して電気接続がなされ、ピン３２の根元が位置決め穴４２ｄに嵌まることで光接続のための位置決めがなされる。光接続のための位置決め用の専用のガイドピンは不要となる。【選択図】図３
