The specification and drawings show and describe an embodiment of the present invention in the form of a ferrule for a fiber optic connector having a capillary for receiving an optical fiber and a flange molded onto an outer surface of the capillary. A recess is formed in the outer surface of the capillary prior to the molding process, and a plastic material is injected into a mold containing the capillary, forming both the flange and a projecting portion of the flange which extends into the capillary recess. The features of the molded flange are used for positioning and securing the capillary within the fiber optic connector.
