Patent ID: 11977263

Abstract:
A connector part (1) for an optical plug-in connection comprises a pin holder (2) and at least two pin sleeves (3, 3′) accommodated in the pin holder, wherein a connector pin (4, 4′) having an optical waveguide is fixed in each of said pin sleeves. The connector part also comprises a connector housing (8), which is connected to the pin holder and completely or partially surrounds the connector pins and which has latching means (9) for creating a latching connection to a mating connector part. An unlocking carriage (11) displaceably mounted on the connector housing is provided to release the latching connection to the mating connector part. The pin holder consists of two half shells (12, 12′) which can be or are latched to one another and the connector housing also can be or is latched to the pin holder. A connector part of this kind can be installed fitted and removed without tools even in difficult field conditions, resulting in a significant time saving for optical plug-in connections.
