A method for removing deposits in a mass spectrometer ion source housing includes delivering a liquid from a liquid source to a surface within the ion source housing. The surface including an ultrasonic transducer embedded within the surface. The method further includes activating the ultrasonic transducer to ultrasonically remove the deposit.

An LC format optical connector for terminating an optical fiber includes a housing configured to mate with an LC receptacle. A backbone is configured to engage an outer surface of the outer shell of the housing and includes a mounting structure that is configured to engage a boot. A collar body is retained between the outer shell and the backbone and includes a fiber stub disposed in a first portion of the collar body, the fiber stub being mounted in a ferrule. A mechanical splice is disposed in a second portion of the collar body, the mechanical splice configured to splice the fiber stub to the optical fiber. The backbone also includes a fiber jacket clamping portion to clamp a jacket portion that surrounds a portion of the optical fiber upon actuation.
