Support assembly for terminal, in particular for optical elements

摘要

There is provided an overmolded support assembly for support of optical elements. The support assembly can be of multi component construction including a base component and a supplementary component, wherein the supplementary component can be overmolded onto the base component. Each of the base component and the supplementary component can be of unitary construction. The supplementary component can have a material hardness rating lower than a material hardness rating of the base component. The support assembly is adapted for interference fit with the optical element.
