Abstract
An optical fiber connector assembly for mounting on a substrate includes a housing and a receptacle opening in a direction generally perpendicular to the substrate. A multi-fiber ferrule receives optical fibers with one of the optical fibers defining an optical fiber axis. A ferrule carrier with the ferrule is positioned within the receptacle. A locking member locks the ferrule carrier within the receptacle. In one embodiment, the locking member move generally parallel to the optical fiber axis. In another embodiment, the locking member rotates relative to the optical fiber axis.
