Abstract
A method and apparatus for injection molding of a fiber optic ferrule including the use of adjustable core and receiver members adjustable from the exterior of the mold to precisely locate a projecting wire member in a mold where a score pin defines an interior passage in the molded ferrule and the projecting wire forms a small diameter longitudinal hole in the ferrule communicating with an outer end of the interior passage so that the interior passage and small diameter hole are precisely located relative to the body of the molded ferrule.
