| 摘要 |
<p>This invention is related to a fiber optic connector (10) including a precision ferrule (12) that is mounted in a machine tubular housing (40). An overmolded collar (70) secures the ferrule (12) to the housing (40) without the use of adhesives. Protruding lobes (26) on the ferrule (12) are received in a housing counterbore section (46) and the collar body (72) is molded around these lobes (26) to secure the ferrule against translation and rotation. The overmolded collar body (72) also engages a knurled surface (52) on the exterior of the tubular housing (40). The overmolded version of this connector (10) can be used with an epoxyless optical fiber termination. A press fit connector (110) is also disclosed.</p> |
