ABSTRACT:
A pin terminal (12) and a socket terminal (62) for coupling the free ends of a pair of optical fibers is disclosed. The terminals (12,62) are adapted for mounting in respective connector members (10,18) of the multiple terminal type. The pin terminal (12) has an optical fiber cable (14) secured at the rearward end with the fiber (50) extending partially through a channel (32). The socket terminal (62) has a cable (16) secured at its rearward end with the free end of the fiber (52) extending partially through the socket terminal. When the pin terminal is telescopically inserted into the socket terminal, the fiber (52) enters the channel (32) which includes self-aligning means for the fibers.
