Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an optical fiber connector, and more particularly to an optical fiber connector for reducing information loss and a method of manufacturing the same. [Prior Art] [0002] With the continuous advancement of science and technology, optical fibers have been widely used in communications and other industries. When the fibers are connected to each other, a fiber connector is usually used. See literature: Analysis on the effects of fiber end face scratches on return loss performance of optical fiber connectors, Zuyuan He; Mahmood, W.; Sahinci, :E.; Ahmad, N.; Pra- dieu, Y. ; Lightwave Technology , Journal of Volume 22, Issue 12, Dec. 2004 Page(s): 2749 -2754. Referring to FIG. 7, the fiber optic connector typically includes a housing 40 and an optical fiber 50. The optical fiber 50 is typically partially covered by a protective sleeve 51 to prevent it from being broken. The outer casing 40 includes an integrally formed lens 41 and a fiber receiving seat 42. The optical fiber housing 42 has a housing space 43 for housing the optical fiber 5 and the protective sleeve 51. The lens 41 is coupled to the optical fiber 50 in the accommodating space 43 so that the light can be concentrated and transmitted to the optical fiber 50 to reduce the loss of information. The outer casing 40 is usually injection molded using a mold 6 and has a low yield due to the complicated structure of the outer casing. Further, in order to form the accommodating space 43', the mold 60 has a center lock 61' having a shape corresponding to the shape of the optical fiber as shown in Fig. 8, since the diameter of the tip end of the optical fiber is only 〇. 1-0· 2 mm 'the front end of the center pin 61 The diameter is also only 0·b 0. 2mm, 098119120 No. A0101 Page 4 / Total 22 pages 0982032439-0 201044044 [0004] In the injection molding, the injection molding material in the molten state enters the cavity and will have a huge impact. The force causes the center pin 61 to be displaced. In this case, the receiving space 43 of the outer casing 40 is also offset, so that the optical fiber 50 and the lens 41 accommodated in the receiving space may have different degrees of eccentricity, thereby causing certain Information loss.
