Abstract
A fiber optic connector (11 ) for interconnecting a fiber optic pin terminus (19) and a fiber optic socket terminus (17) which includes a receptacle connector body (13) and a plug connector body (15). The receptacle connector body (13) has a passage (21) extending through it which is sized and adapted to receive the fiber optic socket terminus (17). The plug connector body (15) has a passage (39) extending through it which is sized and adapted to receive the fiber optic pin terminus (19). An end portion of one of the bodies is receivable in the passage of an end portion of the other of the bodies to define an interconnected position which is adapted to optically couple the socket terminus (17) and the pin terminus (19). A lock on the bodies is responsive to the bodies being in the interconnected position to lock the bodies in the interconnected position. The lock is also responsive to a pulling force of at least a first magnitude to unlock and allow the bodies to separate.
