OPTICAL SWING CONNECTOR, OPTICAL COUNTER CONNECTOR AS WELL AS OPTICAL CONNECTING UNIT

摘要

The invention relates to an optical swivel connector (100) for an optical, optoelectrical or optoelectronic connection, with in particular a floating ferrule, the optical swivel connector (100) being able to be provided on an optical mating connector (200) such that the swivel connector (100) can be pivoted out of an open position (O) into a closed position (G) on the mating connector (200), an optical means (120) of the swivel connector (100) being able to be optically coupled to an optical means (220) of the mating connector (200). Further, the invention relates to an optical mating connector (200) for an optical, optoelectrical or optoelectronic connection, in particular a transmitter module, receiver module or transmitter/receiver module, the mating connector (200) having a bearing means (230) on/in which an optical swivel connector (100) can be provided such that the swivel connector (100) can be pivoted out of an open position (O) into a closed position (G) on the mating connector (200), an optical means (220) of the mating connector (200) being able to be optically coupled to an optical means (120) of the swivel connector (100). Furthermore, the invention relates to an optical connecting means (10), an assembled optical-waveguide cable (6), in particular a pigtail (6), and also to an electrical or electronic device (1) for the automotive sector, or an assembly (2) therefor.
