Connector element for a light waveguide

摘要

A connector element for light waveguides has two carrier members which have guide grooves for the optical fibers and guide channels receiving guide ribs of guide rails for holding the two carrier members in alignment. To prevent possible misalignment due to micro-offsets in the surfaces of the guide channels and ribs of the guide rails or dust particles or the penetration of an immersion material into the guide channel, a portion of the contacting surfaces, either the contacting surface of the guide channel or of the guide rib is removed so that engagement between the rib and channel occurs only at spaced locations.
