Abstract
The present invention relates to a manufacturing method for an opto-mechanical connector (,) and to the connector itself. The invention includes that a fixture (,) is manufactured with straight and parallel grooves (,) running on the upper side of the fixture (,) from a first fixture side (,) to a second fixture side (,), and which grooves (,) are intended partly for optical fibers and partly for guide pins. A lid (,) is attached above the fixture (,), whereafter optical fibers (,) from, for example, a fiber ribbon cable (,) are introduced into the grooves (,) intended for the fibers from the first fixture side (,) so that the fiber ends (,) extend out through the second fixture side (,). Guide pins (,) are furthermore introduced into the grooves (,) intended for the guide pins. The structure obtained (fixture (,), lid (,), fiber ends (,) and guide pins (,)) is completely or partially enclosed by a plastic capsule (,).
