In order to advantageously weld a pre-mounted connector-plug part (1) to an optical waveguide cable, the connector-plug part is provided with a pin holder (4) receiving a connector-plug pin (2) on a pin receiving section (5). Preferably, two cladding parts (8, 8′) form a cable receiving section (6) in said pin holder. In order to carry out welding in a simple manner on the bare end (22) of the end of a fiber, the cladding parts (8, 8′) can be pivoted around a hinge (9, 9′) between an open position and a closed position. A dividable protective sheath (25, 25′) is provided inside the cable receiving section or inside the cladding parts and can enclose the weld. When mounted, the protective sheath can be de-coupled from the cladding parts (8, 8′).
In the case of the present exemplary embodiment, each shell part 10, 10′ forms over the entire length of the cable receiving section 6 a cladding part 8, 8′, which is connected to the pin receiving section 5 by a film hinge 9. The cladding parts can in this case be swung out unproblematically by about 90° with respect to the longitudinal center axis 3.
The perspective representation of detail a shows the cladding part 8 in a position in which it has been turned somewhat further. It is evident from this that the cladding part is provided with a through-opening 44. This opening is adjoined on the inside by a slot 45, which extends in the axial direction. The cladding part 8′ is formed as a mirror image. In the perspective representation of detail b, the cladding part 8 has been turned by 180°. From this perspective, the positioning means 36, which later serve for the radial positioning of the connector-plug part in a connector-plug housing, can also be seen.
Arranged on the inside of each of the two cladding parts 8, 8′ is a sleeve shell 25, 25′. The representation of detail c shows the sleeve shell 25 turned by 180°. The two sleeve shells together produce a protective sleeve. At each of both ends, such a protective sleeve has a receiving section 39 and 39′, half of which can respectively be seen in FIG. 1. Arranged on the inside of this receiving section are teeth 40, which dig into the coating of an optical waveguide during the closing of the two sleeve shells. Also arranged on the inside 38 of the sleeve shells are lugs 41 and lug openings 42, to be precise not on the outside but in the region of the center. A channel 37, which is coated for example with a silicone material, extends in the axial direction. This channel later receives the bare optical waveguide with the welded location. The silicone material could also be substituted by an adhesive layer, which however has been applied to the optical waveguide in advance.
