Active optical cable connector and active optical cable assembly using same

Abstract

The invention relates to an active optical cable connector and an active optical cable assembly using the same. The active optical cable connector comprises a connector shell assembly and a photoelectric conversion unit arranged in an inner cavity of the connector shell assembly, wherein a stop structure is arranged in the inner cavity of the connector shell assembly in front of the photoelectric conversion unit; a pressing structure for elastically pressing the photoelectric conversion unit against the stop structure is arranged in the inner cavity of the connector shell assembly behind the photoelectric conversion unit; and the photoelectric conversion unit is elastically pressed in the inner cavity of the connector shell assembly by the pressing structure. According to the connector, the problem that the photoelectric conversion unit cannot be dismantled due to use of mucilage glue is solved; and the photoelectric conversion unit is elastically pressed, and elastic floating force can be provided when the connector is vibrated and the photoelectric conversion unit moves in the inner cavity of the connector shell assembly, so that impact and collision of the photoelectric conversion unit and the connector shell assembly are avoided and the reliability of the connector is improved.
