Patent ID: 8622636

Claim:
An optical fiber connector, comprising: a plurality of optical fibers; a connector body comprising a first side surface, a second side surface parallel to the first side surface, an upper surface perpendicularly interconnected between the first side surface and the second side surface, and a plurality of optical lenses arranged at the first side surface, the connector body including a top recess defined in the upper surface, and a bottom surface in the top recess parallel to the upper surface, an inner front surface in the top recess parallel to the first side surface, a first inner side surface in the top recess, and a second inner side surface in the top recess parallel to the first inner side surface, the inner front surface perpendicularly connecting the first inner side surface to the second inner side surface, each of the bottom surface, the first inner side surface, and the second inner side surface extending from the second side surface toward and terminating at the inner front surface, the bottom surface defining a plurality of receiving grooves, a plurality of first recesses, and a plurality of second recesses, each first recess located between the second side surface and the corresponding second recess and connected with the corresponding receiving groove, each second recess arranged at a distal end of the corresponding receiving groove and bounded by the inner front surface, the optical fibers received in the receiving grooves and aligned with the optical lenses; two first glue layers filling in the first recesses and engulfing the respective optical fibers; and two second glue layers filling in the second recesses and engulfing the respective optical fibers.
