  • Publication number: 20240106157
    Abstract: A holding frame for connector includes different latch and spring elements on opposite side walls of a base frame attached and project with their respective guiding portion whose T- or L-shaped post. The guiding portion ensures through its catching funnel for a comfortable insertion of the connector modules in the correct polarization and thereby, and while holding the then in the holding frame latched connector modules, stabilizing the post. In the construction of the holding frame is a permutation of various latch and spring elements on the base frame by an interaction of their fixing contour with a fixing contour of the respective side wall of the base frame prevented. Due to the special shape of the latch and spring elements, a cable connection-side removal of a connector module is possible if the holding frame is already installed in a commercially available attachment housing.

  • Publication number: 20230143247
    Abstract: A ferrule can be assembled in the field. A ferrule collar has a non-circular, in particular polygonal outer contour. A corresponding coding region of a ferrule housing is arranged in a portion of a contact chamber on a cable-connection side and has a non-circular, in particular polygonal cross section, in which the ferrule collar is held with a form fit over the entire spring displacement path. The ferrule spring acts on the ferrule collar over the entire displacement path. As a result, the ferrule is secured against rotation about its axis by a high holding force, which makes it easier for a fibre-optic cable to be screwed on. The structural form is particularly well-suited for use in a plug-in connector module.
