FIBER-OPTICAL CONNECTION Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: optical instruments. SUBSTANCE: device has socket, which is mounted on mother board, plug, which is mounted on daughter board. Plug comprises sliding housing which is supported by resting bulges resting to bead of plug jacket, so that housing is inserted into socket. Clamping shoulders of socket serve for clamping plug housing by beads in order to provide elastic overlapped connection of plug sleeve to socket sleeve. Further movement of housing into socket forces release of resting bulges from plug housing by beads, so that housing slides back and plug jacket slides in forward direction without spring tension, in order to provide compensation of tolerance range between daughter board and mother board. EFFECT: increased reliability of plug and socket connection. 18 cl, 21 dwg
