Abstract:
An alignment assembly of a first connector part for aligning a first fiber ferrule of the first connector part with a second fiber ferrule of a second connector part during mating of the first connector part with the second connector part. The alignment assembly includes a ferrule carrier to which the first fiber ferrule is mounted. The ferrule carrier is mounted to the first connector part by a support structure. The support structure is configured to allow a movement of the ferrule carrier relative to the first connector part in at least a lateral direction that is substantially perpendicular to an engagement direction of the first fiber ferrule with the second fiber ferrule. A first guiding structure is mounted to or forms part of the ferrule carrier. The first guiding structure is configured to mechanically interact with a complementary second guiding structure that is provided in the second connector part.

Claim (Index 19):
The alignment assembly according to  claim 14 ,\n wherein the first guiding structure or the second guiding structure comprises two guiding channels that extend substantially parallel to the engagement direction and that have a forward end for receiving the at least one guide pin of the other guiding structure.
