Abstract:
1. A backplane optical connector comprising a first connector secured to a backplane and a second connector mounted on a portion of a daughter board close to the backplane, the daughter board being allowed to be inserted or removed in a direction orthogonal to a surface of the backplane, wherein: when a direction orthogonal to a surface of the daughter board is an X direction, a direction parallel to the surface of the daughter board and the surface of the backplane is a Y direction, and a direction orthogonal to the surface of the backplane is a Z direction, the second connector is mounted on the daughter board to have degrees of freedom in the X direction and the Y direction, the first connector comprises there is a space for accommodating the shutter pivoted by the pressing part between the pressing part and the second optical input-output part, and the pressing part does not make contact with the first connector until the pressing part makes contact with the shutter during insertion of the daughter board.
