FIELD ASSEMBLY OPTICAL CONNECTOR AND ITS ASSEMBLING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate assembly in-situ by enabling simple and rapid assembly without using external tools.;SOLUTION: The optical connector is provided with a frame 5 which is internally provided with axially extending split sleeves 10, a first holding member 6 which is axially formed with a fiber hole 11 opened at both ends, is inserted into the split sleeves 10 and is butted against a mating side ferrule 2, a second holding member 2 which is fitted to the rear end of the first member 6, a third holding member 3 which is fitted to the rear end of the second member 2, and a fourth holding member 9 which is inserted with the third member 3 and is formed with a threaded bore 25 to be screwed to the frame 5 at its front end. The connection of the mating side ferrule 2 to an optical fiber is performed by inserting the optical fiber in the temporarily assembled state coaxially and communicatively connected with a fiber hole 11 of the first member 6, a stepped fiber hole 15 of the second member 7 and a tapered fiber hole 22 of the third member 8.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
