摘要： The invention pertains to a modular optical connection system that permits simple swapping of optical connectors of different form factor types. Furthermore, it allows a single optical connector design of a given form factor to be used to make optical connectors in various different board-to-board configurations, such as orthogonal, coplanar, and backplane. In accordance with the invention, an outer housing is mounted on a board which housing allows two inner housings to mate with each other through the outer housing. A single outer housing can be used with different inner housings adapted to accept various different connector form factors therein and permits the two mating inner housings to float longitudinally within the outer housing. It also allows the two mating inner housings to engage and disengage via simple push engagement and pull disengagement. The external dimensions and features of all of the different connector housings are essentially identical to each other so that they all can mate with each other and with the outer housing, but have different internal dimensions and features depending on the particular connector form factor style for which they are designed.
摘要翻译：本发明涉及允许简单交换不同形状因子类型的光学连接器的模块化光学连接系统。此外，它允许使用给定形状因数的单个光学连接器设计来制造各种不同的板对板配置的光学连接器，例如正交，共面和背板。根据本发明，外壳安装在板上，外壳允许两个内壳通过外壳相互配合。单个外壳可以与适于在其中接受各种不同连接件形状因素的不同内壳一起使用，并允许两个配合的内壳在外壳内纵向浮动。它还允许两个配合的内壳通过简单的推动接合和拉脱离接合和分离。所有不同连接器壳体的外部尺寸和特征基本上彼此相同，使得它们都可以彼此配合并且与外壳配合，但是具有不同的内部尺寸和特征，这取决于具体的连接器形状因子他们的设计。

摘要： A fiber optic connector utilizing a fiber array ferrule 20 has a housing 1 with an internal geometry that provides transverse alignment of the ferrule relative to the housing 1 when the connector is in an unmated condition and permits transverse displacement of the ferrule relative to the housing when the connector is in a mated condition. This structure advantageously permits proper pre-mating alignment with a mating connector ferrule or other optical device while also improving isolation of the ferrule from external loads imposed on the housing 1 when the connector is in a mated condition.
摘要翻译：使用光纤阵列套圈20的光纤连接器具有壳体1，当壳体1处于未配合状态时，壳体1具有内部几何形状，该内部几何形状提供套圈相对于壳体1的横向对准，并允许套圈相对于壳体横向移位，连接器处于配合状态。该结构有利地允许与匹配的连接器套圈或其他光学装置的适当的预配合对准，同时还改善了当连接器处于配合状态时套圈与施加在壳体1上的外部负载的隔离。
