Abstract: A fibre optic connector (10) attaches a fibre optic harness (12) having a plurality of jacketed optic fibres (14) to an optical device that has a flat rectangular contact surface. The connector comprises an outer member (20,22) that has a plural number of non-linearly arrayed, grooves that receive individual jacketed optic fibres of the harness. An inner wedge member (36) in the rear end of the outer member guides and holds individual jacketed optic fibres in the respective grooves. Each groove converges toward and communicates with a slot (34) at the front end of the connector. The slot receives stripped end portions of the optic fibres and holds them in an abutting linear array for engagement with the flat rectangular contact surface of the optical device. The connector may also include latches (42) for retaining the optic fibres individually and springs for biasing each individual optic fibre into engagement with the flat contact surface of the optic device.
