In a fiber optic waveguide connector a plurality of sector jaw members, such as three elongated 120 DEG sector shaped jaw members are arranged around the end portion of the fiber optic waveguide to be connected. An elastic O-ring encircles the jaw members for clamping the jaw members around the outer periphery of the fiber optic waveguide which is to be aligned with a second optical element, such as a light emitting diode, or other optical transducer including another fiber optic waveguide. The clamped assembly of sector jaw members and fiber optic waveguide is disposed within a cylindrical bore in a connector housing structure. The jaw members are independently radially adjusted by means of a plurality of adjustment screws arranged around and passing through the housing to obtain precise axial alignment of the fiber optic waveguide being connected to the second optical element.
