<p>A multifiber connector (10) comprises a ferrule (11) having a pair of pin holes (11a) formed therethrough at a predetermined distance from each other for receiving guide pins (12), respectively, in such a manner that a predetermined length of each guide pin is projected from the ferrule in a direction of butt-connection, and a regulating member (14) arranged at the rear of the ferrule for regulating the lengths of projection of the guide pins, wherein the ferrule and the regulating member are contained in a housing (30). A pin retaining member (13) having elasticity is arranged between the ferrule and the regulating member and has a center opening (14a). The pin retaining member also has a pair of slits corresponding in position to the respective pin holes, or a slit (13b) and a retaining hole (13c) corresponding in position to the respective pin holes. The pair of slits or the slit and the retaining hole are located on opposite sides of the opening. Each slit extends outward along a line passing through the centers of the pin holes and has a width smaller than the diameter d of the guide pin, and the retaining hole has a diameter D smaller than the diameter d of the guide pin. <IMAGE></p> |
