Title:
OPTICAL CONNECTOR PLUG
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/221480
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This optical connector plug includes: a ferrule having a flange with regular polygonal cross-section about a mating axis; a housing for holding the ferrule while exposing the end surface of the ferrule in a first direction; and a spring for pushing the ferrule into the housing. The housing includes: an abutting surface facing a second direction opposite the first direction and abutting the end of the flange of the ferrule in the first direction; a flange accommodating part surrounded by a plurality of side wall surfaces that extends in the second direction from the abutting surface and circumferentially arranged about the mating axis; and a plurality of sloped surfaces connected to the plurality of side wall surfaces of the flange accommodating part in the second direction. Each of the plurality of sloped surfaces continuously extends from one end to another end along the circumferential direction of a corresponding side wall surface, and is inclined in such a manner that the distance from the mating axis increases as the sloped surface is separated from the corresponding side wall surface in the second direction and that the distance from the abutting surface increases in the second direction as the sloped surface continues in a prescribed rotational direction about the mating axis.
