Vinklat opto-mekaniskt don samt förfarande för framställning av ett sådant

摘要

The present invention relates to an angled opto-mechanical connector (10) and to a manufacturing process for the same. The connector (10) comprises a fixture (1) with straight and parallel grooves (2, 3) of two sizes running on the upper side of the fixture (1) from a first fixture side (1a) to a second fixture side (1b). A lid (4) is fastened above the fixture (1). Fibre ends (8a) of optical fibres (8) are placed in the capillaries which are formed between the smaller grooves (2) of the fixture and the lid (4) in such a way that they stick out through the side of the fixture (1b). A plastic capsule (11) encloses the fixture (1), the lid (4) and the fibres (8) completely or partially. The fibres (8) stick out from the plastic capsule (11) in a direction separated from that defined by the grooves of the fixture. The connector (10) can also have an opto-mechanical interface of the above mentioned type at its other end (10b).
