ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an optical connector for connecting optical fibers. Said connector comprises a housing which is provided with a first opening for an optical cable comprising an optical fiber to be connected, and a second opening, through which the end of the optical fiber outwardly protrudes from the housing. The second opening can be closed by a lid which can be pivoted between a first position in which it closes the second opening, and a second position in which it frees the second opening. Spring elements are provided for prestressing the lid in the closing direction. The aim of the invention is to simplify the structure and especially the assembly of one such connector. To this end, the spring elements comprise a laminated spring.
