Abstract
A connector, for coupling pairs of (monomode) optical fibers, comprising a central connection portion, with a V-groove, and two holders. A cylindrical envelope of an optical fiber is arranged in each holder to be resilient in the longitudinal direction. A pin 4 is secured parallel to each envelope. The envelope is retained in the V-groove by a hold-down spring. When the envelope and the pin are inserted into the central connection portion, the envelope is clamped by a clamping spring which is actuated by the pin after the envelope has reached its ultimate position, e.g. against an abutment pin.
