Abstract
In a fiber optic connector, a ferrule body is received in a connector housing. A displaceable guide pin is movable in relation to the ferrule body. A spring yieldably biases the displaceable guide pin forward along a longitudinal axis of the fiber optic connector. The displaceable guide pin is displaced backward along the longitudinal axis in relation to the ferrule body and resiliently compresses the spring as the fiber optic connector is connected to another fiber optic component. In a multifiber ferrule assembly, a ferrule base is connected to a ferrule body. A displaceable guide pin is movably connected to the ferrule body for movement in relation to the ferrule body along a longitudinal axis between an extended position and a retracted position. A spring between the displaceable guide pin and the ferrule base yieldably biases the displaceable guide pin to the extended position.
