Claim:
1. An optical connector, comprising: an optical transceiver having an optical element, a case that covers the optical element, and a plurality of terminals that are externally protruded from a terminal projecting surface of the case; and a connector housing having a housing chamber that houses the optical transceiver, wherein the terminal projecting surface of the case is formed as a flat reference plane, a surface which forms the housing chamber and to which the terminal projecting surface of the case abuts is formed as a flat position-correction surface, and a projection is formed on a surface which forms the housing chamber and which is opposite to a side from which the surface to which the terminal projecting surface of the case abuts, the projection is compressively deformable such that the projection abuts a top surface of the case and presses the terminal projecting surface of the case against the flat position-correction surface, wherein the terminal proiecting surface of the case is pressed against the position-correction surface of the housing chamber of the connector housing by a returning deformation force of the projection such that the optical transceiver is housed in the connector housing in a position corrected state and a positional displacement of the optical transceiver in a rotation direction with respect to the connector housing is prevented by the returning deformation force of the projection.
