ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a plug connector for the ends of two light waveguides (LWG) which are connected to holders and are pressed in the guide groove of a guide element and are pressed against each other with their end faces by means of an elongate resilient element. In order to substantially avoid damage of the LWG in the coupling process and to ensure a constantly good and low-damping optical connection, the guiding devices are constructed so that at least one of the ends of the LWG (2) can first be moved with a free space over the guide groove over such a distance to the other LWG (1) that a small axial distance remains between the end faces of the LWGs (1, 2) that the LWG (2), while maintaining a small axial distance, is then pressed into the guide groove and that by further movement of the LWG (2) in the guide groove a resilient engagement of the end faces of the LWGs (1, 2) to be connected is then obtained (FIG. 1).
