ABSTRACT:
The optical fiber connector has a connector body formed with receptacles for the ends of optical fibers. The fibers terminate at a coupling end face of the connector body. A plurality of aligning openings, which are accessible at the coupling end face, cooperate with aligning pins on a cooperating plug. The aligning openings are formed with an insertion region that terminates at an edge formed by the intersection of the opening and the coupling end face. The aligning openings widen in such a way that there is no contact between the edge at the coupling end face and the respective aligning pin inserted into the aligning opening.
