Optical-electrical connector having a resilient member for urging ferrule against lens member

An optical-electrical connector (100) includes a housing (11), a circuit board (3) received in the housing and having a transducer for bidirectional optical-electrical signal conversion, a lens member (42) mounted on the circuit board, a ferrule (43) receiving a number of optical channels and having a resisting face (431), a supporting portion (51) having a base wall (511), and a resilient member. The ferrule is situated behind the lens member within the housing and aligned with the lens member along a front-to-back direction. The resilient member is permanently maintained an invariable compressed state between the base wall and the resisting face of the ferrule to provide an invariable forward resilient force to the ferrule for fixing the ferrule to the lens member, when the optical-electrical connector is used and unused.
