ABSTRACT:
A SC type connector assembly includes a square hollow front housing (10) and a tubular rear housing (26) interconnected to each, other by means of protrusions (28) of the rear housing (26) captured by the corresponding aperture (18) of the front housing (10). An alignment ferrule (36) is positioned within the interior of the front housing (10) and the rear housing (26) with a spring (42) providing a biased force against the alignment ferrule (36) and the rear housing (26). The rear end of the alignment ferrule (36) extends a distance out of the rear end of the rear housing (26). An auxiliary spacer (50) abuts against the rear end of the rear housing (26). A crimping ferrule (44) is to circumferentially cover the rear portion of the rear housing (26) and most of the spacer (50) for sandwiching the strength members (70) and the jacket (72) of the optical fiber cable (74) therebetween. A boot (58) circumferentially covers the crimping ferrule (44). A coupling nut (60) coaxially surrounds the front housing (10), the rear housing (26) and a portion of the boot (58).
