Abstract

Se describe un conectador de fibra optica que comprende una clavija y un receptáculo, que utiliza la fuera de muelle suministrada por el arqueo de la fibra de la clavija para mantener una carga de compresion continua en la articulacion de la fibra ubicada en una hendidura de alineacion de la fibra. La clavija tiene un portador para asegurar la fibra de la clavija y una cubierta la cual se ajusta a presion sobre el portador, con la fibra de la clavija que se extiende en general recta al interior de la cubierta. La cubierta tiene una ranura que proporciona acceso a la porcion terminal de la fibra de la clavija y una puerta deslizante la cual cubre selectivamente la ranura. El receptáculo incluye un alojamiento y otro portador de fibra para asegurar la fibra del receptáculo, con una proyeccion o manecilla unida al portador de fibras del receptáculo, la proyeccion tiene la hendidura de alineacion de la fibra. La manecilla está orientada dentro del alojamiento del receptáculo de tal manera que, cuando la clavija se inserta al receptáculo, la manecilla se extiende a través de la ranura que se encuentra en la cubierta a un ángulo oblicuo con respecto al eje de la clavija. De esta manera, a manera que la clavija se inserta, el extremo de la fibra de la clavija se desliza en la hendidura de alineacion de la fibra en la manecilla y se pone en contacto con la cara extrema de la fibra del receptáculo. La insercion continua de como resultado el arqueo de la fibra de la clavija para obtener la carga de compresion. La puerta de la clavija puede tener superficies de leva las cuales son accionadas mediante superficies correspondientes que se encuentran sobre una puerta del receptáculo. El conectador puede ser utilizado simultáneamente para interconectar una pluralidad de pares de fibras o para terminar una fibra a un dispositivo optico activo.
