An optical connector includes a slug made from a malleable material and positioned behind a ferrule within a barrel member. The slug includes a capillary hole along its longitudinal axis for accommodating an optical fiber. One or more pins extend outwardly from the barrel and are generally orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. The pins provide several functions in the optical connector, including securing the slug within the barrel member, securing the optical fiber within the slug, and securing the barrel to a connector housing that includes a latch.
