Abstract

The present invention relates to an angled opto-mechanical connector and to a manufacturing process for the same. The connector comprises a fixture with straight and parallel grooves of two sizes running on the upper side of the fixture from a first fixture side to a second fixture side. A lid is fastened above the fixture. Fibre ends of optical fibres are placed in the capillaries which are formed between the smaller grooves of the fixture and the lid in such a way that they stick out through the side of the fixture. A plastic capsule encloses the fixture, the lid and the fibres completely or partially. The fibres stick out from the plastic capsule in a direction separated from that defined by the grooves of the fixture. The connector can also have an opto-mechanical interface of the above mentioned type at its other end.
