METHOD OF MOLDING AN OPTICAL CONNECTOR FERRULE

摘要

An end-face-side core 5 from which an optical fiber hole forming pin 1 is projected is fastened by a mold to a fiber-side core 10 from which an optical fiber hole forming pin 6 and a cavity forming member (for example, a tape fiber hole forming rectangular body 8) are projected, while the end-face-side core and the fiber-side core are opposed to each other, the cavity forming member being behind the optical fiber hole forming pin 6 and larger than the optical fiber hole forming pin. A resin is injected into a cavity formed in the mold. The mold is opened, the end-face-side core 5 and the fiber-side core 10 are slid in directions in which the end-face-side core and the fiber-side core are separated from each other, and a resin molded product is then taken out.
