Method and apparatus for aligning guide pins with a connector guide

摘要

A method and apparatus for ensuring that two guide pins with a centerline in a module (e.g., a fiber optic module) mate with two holes in a connector. A connector guide positioner is provided to position a connector guide in an aligned orientation with respect to the guide pins. When in the aligned orientation, the centerline of the connector guide is in alignment with the centerline of the two guide pins of the module, thereby ensuring that the two holes of the connector mate with the two guide pins when the connector is inserted into the receptacle.
