Composite ferrule of connector for optical fibers, and method of manufacturing the same

摘要

A composite ferrule 4 of a connector for optical fibers, which includes a ferrule base 1 and a flange portion 3. The ferrule base 1 includes: a cylindrical front member 1A made of a hard material, which has an optical fiber insert hole 1B at the center thereof, and a rear member 2A made by molding synthetic resin with a substantially same diameter as the front member 1A. The rear member 2A has a coated-optical fiber guide hole 2B at the center thereof, and is joined to an end of the front member 1A. The flange portion 3 is formed on an end of the ferrule base 1 with synthetic resin and has a coated-optical fiber guide hole 2B.
