Abstract
Plug-socket connector apparatus for optical fiber termination comprises first and second plugs and a socket. The first and second plugs are both single ferrule plugs. The socket is a molded interconnect device and a plug holder, and includes terminals located on the bottom face of the socket, first and second bores located at one side of the socket, and first and second retainers. The retainers retain latches formed in the plugs so as to prevent the plugs from falling out of the bores and to restrict rotation angles of the plugs around the axes within predetermined rotation angle ranges, when the plugs is plugged in the bores.
