<p>A contact retention arrangement for a fiber optic connector is disclosed in which the retention element for the ferrule (32, 32') connected to the fiber optic cable (34) is formed or shaped with an integral spring (54) which maintains mating ferrules in positive abutment with each other. The contact retention element may either be a contact retention clip mounted in the wall of the contact passage, or a retention clip carried by the ferrule. In the latter arrangement, the clip is designed so that it may be released from either the front or rear of the connector body. The contact retention arrangement may also be used in an electrical connector.</p> |
