<p>A fiber optic connector utilizing a fiber array ferrule (20) has a housing (1) with an internal geometry that provides transverse alignment of the ferrule relative to the housing (1) when the connector is in an unmated condition and permits transverse displacement of the ferrule relative to the housing when the connector is in a mated condition. This structure advantageously permits proper pre-mating alignment with a mating connector ferrule or other optical device while also improving isolation of the ferrule from external loads imposed on the housing (1) when the connector is in a mated condition.</p> |
