Patent ID: 8573857

Claim:
A plug connector for optical waveguides, in particular for connecting and contacting a mating plug connector, which is equipped with an opto-electrical converter, such that the plug connector has a plug connector housing with two bearing pins, and the plug connector also has a holding element for holding two ferrule housings belonging to it, such that each of these ferrule housings is provided for a holding a ferrule with an optical waveguide embedded therein, such that the holding element is elastically connected to the plug connector housing via a first spring element, and the holding element has two parallel arms, each having an elongated hole, with which the holding element is also rotatable within a certain angular range about the bearing pins under the influence of a spring, is held on the plug connector housing, so that it is displaceable by a first displacement path axially to the ferrules under the influence of a spring.
