Abstract
The fiber optical plug connector has a pin, a helical spring bearing against the pin with a rearward axial force and a one-piece housing with a closed front segment and a through opening. A side wall opening behind the front segment allows the pin fitted with the helical spring to be inserted. Holding elements secure the pin and/or the helical spring from being displaced radially outward after the plug and the spring have been snapped into radial alignment.
