Abstract
An expanded beam optical connector includes a body, a tube holder, an alignment tube, and a collimator assembly. The tube holder is disposed within a bore of the body. The collimator assembly is received within the bore of the body and includes an optical fiber and a collimating lens having a collimated beam. A first end of the alignment tube is received within a first cavity of the tube holder, and the collimating lens is received within a second cavity of the tube holder such that the collimating lens is separated from the first end of the alignment tube by a gap and a centerline axis of the alignment tube is substantially aligned with an optical axis of the collimated beam.
