Abstract:
1. A fiber optic connector comprising: a first insulative housing defining a top face, a front face connecting with the top face, a pair of sidewalls, and a receiving cavity defined into the front face thereof, and each sidewall defining a recess opening through the top face and an inner surface of the first housing near an opening of the receiving cavity; a door movably assembled at the opening of the receiving cavity, and including a pair of shafts rotationally received in the recesses; and an elastic piece directly retained in the first housing with one piece constantly downwardly abutting against an upper portion of the door; wherein each recess defines a protrusion integrally extending towards the receiving cavity and disposed beyond the shaft therein, so as to prevent the shafts from breaking off the recesses; wherein each recess is essentially constantly exposed upwardly toward an exterior so as to allow the door to be downwardly assembled to the first housing around said opening from the exterior under condition that the recess is still constantly or easily upwardly exposed to the exterior after the whole connector is assembled.
