An optical fiber connector is described for holding the front ends of optica l fibers and biasing them forwardly against the ends of mating optical fibers, which has an improved biasing arrangement. The front end of each optical fib er is held by a terminus arrangement that includes a terminus body (40, fig. 3) that is mounted on a yoke (62) bat which can shift forward and backward with respect to the yoke. The terminus body is biased forwardly (F) by a sheet metal leaf (92) with a forwardly-bowed middle (98) that abuts a forward shoulder (100) on th e terminus body, and with opposite end parts (94, 96) that bear against a fron t surface (102) of the yoke. The bodies are installed by sliding them into slo ts (111-113; fig. 2) of the yoke.
