ABSTRACT:
Optical connectors adapted to join optical fibers to an optical component, each connector having an outer support to be fixedly secured to the component and provided with a housing receiving a movable element having a spherical-surface portion to which an optical fiber-holding body is connected. The spherical surface of the movable element is in contact with a mating surface of the outer support and permits pivoting or rotation of the movable element and the body housing the fiber about any axis passing through the center of the spherical surface itself. Tightening means for locking the movable element against the housing surface is provided, and such tightening means is adapted to prevent pivoting or rotation of the movable element itself by friction. The connector can be made entirely of dielectric materials.
