A pin terminal (12) and a socket terminal (62) with self-alignment means (32, 54) in the pin is disclosed for coupling free ends of a pair of optical fibers (50, 52). The pin and socket terminal (12, 62) are adapted for mounting in respective connector members (10, 18) of the multiple terminal type. The self-alignment means for the fibers includes an alignment channel (32) in the pin and a spring wire (54) disposed in the channel. A bottom wall of the channel is a V-groove and the spring wire urges the free ends of the fibers into the V-groove when the fibers are inserted from opposite ends of the channel.
