  • Patent number: 9097863
    Abstract: An optical fiber connector includes a main body, lens portions, and optical fibers. The main body includes a first side surface and a second side surface opposite to the first side surface. The main body defines a cavity between the first and second side surfaces, and a number of accommodating holes extending through the first side surface and communicating with the cavity. The cavity includes an inner surface. The lens portions are positioned on the second side surface, and each lens portion is coaxial with a corresponding accommodating hole. A focal plane of each lens portion overlaps the inner surface. The optical fibers are fixed in the accommodating holes. An end of each optical fiber is fixed at the focal plane of a corresponding lens portion. The main body includes a bottom surface and defines a through hole in the cavity. The through hole passes through the bottom surface.

  • Patent number: 8939653
    Abstract: An optical fiber connector includes a main body, a number of lens portions, a number of restricting members, and a number of optical fibers. The main body includes a first side surface and a second side surface opposite to the first side surface. The main body defines a cavity between the first and second side surfaces, and a number of accommodating holes extending through the first side surface and communicating with the cavity. The lens portions are positioned on the second side surface, and each lens portion is coaxial with a corresponding accommodating hole. The restricting members are arranged in the cavity. The optical fibers are fixed in the accommodating holes. Each optical fiber is restricted by a corresponding restricting member and an end of each optical fiber is fixed at the focal plane of a corresponding lens portion.

  • Patent number: 8622628
    Abstract: An optical fiber connector includes optical fibers, a connector body, and a cover. The connector body includes optical lenses arranged at the first side surface. The connector body defines receiving grooves. Each of the receiving grooves has a V-shaped section and two slanted surfaces. The optical fibers are received in the grooves and as a result are correctly aligned with the respective optical lenses. The cover and the slanted surfaces of the receiving grooves cooperatively securely retain the optical fibers in the connector.
