Abstract:
A connector assembly includes an adapter, a housing device, a ferrule assembly, and a sensor. The housing device is received by the adapter and has a bore, a front end, and a rear end opposite the front end. A ferrule of the ferrule assembly is within the bore of the housing device and has a mating end extending beyond the front end of the housing device. The sensor is mounted on the rear end of the housing, the rear end of the ferrule assembly, or on the adapter confronting and spaced apart from the housing device or the ferrule assembly. The sensor is configured for detecting a force applied by the housing device or the ferrule assembly, respectively. An electrical characteristic of the sensor changes to indicate a predetermined force has been applied by the housing device or the ferrule assembly, respectively.

Claim (Index 9):
The connector assembly of  claim 8 , wherein the first distance is a first clearance defined by a peak of the first housing wall and a peak of the first adapter wall, wherein the second distance is a second clearance defined by a peak of the second housing wall and a peak of the second adapter wall, and wherein the sum of the first and the second clearances is at least 0.1 mm.
