Method and metal mold for manufacturing optical connector ferrule

摘要

An optical connector ferrule molding die 1 for molding an optical connector ferrule having a plurality of optical fiber holes comprises an upper die 10, a lower die 11, and an intermediate die 12, whereas the intermediate die 12 comprises a plurality of optical fiber hole forming pins 126 for forming optical fiber holes. The lower die 11 is provided with a protrusion 114 for forming a window hole of the optical connector ferrule, whereas the optical fiber hole forming pins 126 projecting from the intermediate die 12 are secured by through holes 115 penetrating through the protrusion 114 and V-grooves 113. <IMAGE>
