ABSTRACT:
An SMA-style optical waveguide connector is disclosed comprising a tubular contact body receiving a conical profiled primary ferrule therein. The primary ferrule includes a profiled bore for receiving an optical waveguide therethrough, with a forward end segment of the waveguide protruding forward from the primary ferrule and out of a forward end of the contact body. An alignment ferrule is mounted over the forward end of the contact body, and provides a centrally disposed aperture to receive and axially center the forward end of the optical waveguide. The alignment ferrule is resiliently and radially compressible, so that upon force fitting the contact body into a tubular splice bushing, the alignment ferrule radially compresses to position the contact body on the major axis of the splice bushing.
