Fiber-Coupled Connector Assemblies

Abstract

An optical fiber coupling connector assembly includes a first optical fiber coupling connector and a second optical fiber coupling connector matched with each other. The first optical fiber coupling connector includes a first body with a first optical surface, a first lens located on the first optical surface, and a plurality of first pins extending from the first optical surface and distributed on opposite sides of the first lens. and a plurality of second pins extending from the first optical surface and distributed on two opposite outer sides of the first pins. The length of the second pin is greater than that of the first pin. The second fiber coupling connector includes a second body having a second optical surface and a second lens located on the second optical surface and aligned with the first lens. A first clamping hole and a second clamping hole are opened on the second optical surface. The first pins are engaged with the corresponding first locking holes, and the second pins are engaged with the corresponding second locking holes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of Universal Serial Bus (Universal Serial Bus, USB), in particular to an optical fiber coupling connector assembly. Background technique [0002] At present, the use of optical signals to transmit data is gradually applied to the USB field of personal computers, and the specific form is embodied as an optical fiber coupling connector assembly. A fiber-coupled connector assembly generally includes a first fiber-coupled connector and a second fiber-coupled connector mated with each other. Each fiber coupling connector includes a main body, an optical fiber, a blind hole opened on the main body for receiving the optical fiber, and a lens on the main body aligned with the optical fiber for optical coupling. Generally, the first optical fiber coupling connector is installed in the first terminal, and the second optical fiber coupling connector is installed in the second terminal. [0003] In use, the first fiber coupling...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Insertion between the first optical fiber coupling connector and the second optical fiber coupling connector will cause wear and tear on the first optical fiber coupling connector and the second optical fiber coupling connector. The more times of insertion, the greater the amount of wear. The lens in one fiber coupling connector cannot be completely aligned with the lens in the second fiber coupling connector, that is, the alignment of the two will deviate, which will reduce the coupling accuracy, and in severe cases, wear will change the two fiber coupling connections Due to the original shape of the connector, it cannot be inserted, which affects the service life of the fiber-optic connector assembly
