ABSTRACT:
A connector for light waveguides comprising a housing and at least one clamping member provided in the housing. The clamping member comprises a base having a V-shaped guide groove extending in the longitudinal direction of the housing. The guide groove receives a light waveguide plug. A pressure element is provided opposite the guide groove. The pressure element consists of a clamping bridge and pressure members acting thereon. The height of the pressure members is smaller than the distance between the engaging surface of the clamping bridge and the wall of the housing extending opposite the engaging surface. Screw caps are provided to be screwed laterally on the housing and to act on the pressure members via a pressure piece. The pressure members consist of individual balls which have the same diameter and which are provided in at least one row, one behind the other, in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the housing. The balls are provided within a longitudinal groove of the clamping bridge and/or the wall of the housing.
