Abstract:
A fiber-optic connector ferrule body ( 10 ) that includes a depth that extends from a front end ( 12 ) to a rear end ( 14 ) of the ferrule. The ferrule includes a contact face ( 16 ) at the front end of the ferrule. The contact face includes a major dimension that extends along a major axis (X) defined by the contact face and a minor dimension that extends along a minor axis (Y) defined by the contact face. The major and minor axes are perpendicular to one another. The ferrule also defines alignment pin receivers ( 18 ) that extend rearwardly from the front end of the ferrule. The alignment pin receivers have tight-fit sections ( 26 ) that extend into the ferrule body from the contact face and flex sections ( 28 ) that extend from the first transverse cross-sectional shape to the rear end. The first and second transverse cross-sectional profiles define a degree of rotational flexibility between alignment pins ( 24 ) received in the alignment pin receivers ( 18 ) and the ferrule body ( 10 ).

Claim (Index 30):
The fiber optic connector ferrule of  claim 27 , wherein the tight-fit sections are positioned longitudinally in front of the loose-fit flex sections.
