ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber terminal capable of automatic assembly is disclosed. The terminal includes a ferrule of substantially cylindrical shape provided with a bore directed generally longitudinally to guide an optical fiber and with at least one projection on the outer periphery of the ferrule, a housing for receiving the ferrule made up of sections of a longitudinally cut tubular member with the inner periphery having a configuration which permits the ferrule to be held longitudinally slidably and a stopper to define the most forward position of the projection of the ferrule, and at least one resilient member which resiliently forces the projection of the ferrule forward with respect to the housing.
