ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment of the present invention, a connector assembly comprises a body member and a ferrule, disposed therein, and a low profile resilient member, configured to provide a reduced axial dimension when maintained in a compressed state, that biases the ferrule in a direction of a front opening of the body member. In another embodiment of the present invention, the connector assembly comprises a body member and a ferrule disposed therein, and additionally a guide pin holder comprising at least two open members disposed within the body member and in a cooperating relationship with the ferrule. In yet another embodiment, the connector assembly comprises a body member and a ferrule disposed therein, and additionally a boot comprising a first internal surface having a first radius and a second internal surface having a second radius greater than the first radius.
