An actuated fiber optic connector is disclosed in which the plug and receptacle connector members are axially mated with the fiber optic ferrule in the plug connector member sliding into a V-shaped channel in the receptacle connector member with low insertion force to abut the receptacle fiber optic ferrule therein. A leaf spring is mounted in the channel. The plug connector member carries an actuating sleeve which engages a central portion of the leaf spring upon mating of the connector members urging the spring inwardly into the V-channel. The spring is constructed such that when it is actuated, the spring biases both the ferrules in the connector into abutting relationship.
