Abstract:
A pigtail-type optical receptacle includes a ferrule, an optical fiber, a protective member, a sleeve, and a holder. The ferrule has a through-hole extending in an axial direction. The optical fiber is held by the ferrule in a state of being inserted into the through-hole and extends outside the ferrule from a rear end side of the ferrule. The protective member covers a portion of the optical fiber extending outside the ferrule. The sleeve engages an outer surface of the ferrule. The through-hole includes a first region and a second region. The second region is disposed rearward of the first region. The width in an orthogonal direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the through-hole in the second region widens toward the rear end side of the ferrule. The holder holds a portion of the outer surface of the ferrule rearward of the first region.

Claim (Index 1):
A pigtail-type optical receptacle, comprising:\n a ferrule having a tubular configuration and having a through-hole extending in an axial direction; an optical fiber held by the ferrule in a state of being inserted into the through-hole, the optical fiber extending outside the ferrule from a rear end side of the ferrule; a protective member covering a portion of the optical fiber extending outside the ferrule; a sleeve having a tubular configuration, engaging an outer surface of the ferrule, and being mounted on a front end side of the ferrule; a holder having a tubular configuration, engaging the outer surface of the ferrule, and holding the rear end side of the ferrule; and a housing having a tubular configuration, engaging an outer surface of the holder, and covering whole of the ferrule and at least a portion of the sleeve around the axial direction, the through-hole of the ferrule including a first region and a second region, a width in an orthogonal direction of the through-hole in the first region corresponding to a width in the orthogonal direction of the optical fiber, the orthogonal direction being orthogonal to the axial direction, the second region being disposed rearward of the first region, the width in the orthogonal direction of the through-hole in the second region widening toward the rear end side of the ferrule, the holder holding only a portion of the outer surface of the ferrule, the portion of the outer surface of the ferrule being an outer surface of a portion of the ferrule, the second region rearward of the first region being provided in the portion of the ferrule.
