OPTOELECTRONIC CONNECTOR Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC H02G15/08 G02B6/36 

FIELD: data processing and transmission.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to split connectors of optical-electric data transmission lines and can be used as a sealed multichannel optical-electric connector operating under high pressure conditions and high overloads. Optoelectronic connector consists of a plug and a receptacle having casing cylindrical and integral parts, an insulator, electric contacts and sockets for them, ferrule for light guides and optical centralizers of mating ferrules. Fork case holes accommodate ferrule for light guides with radial gaskets, as well as glass insulators accommodating electric contacts. In the receptacle casing an insulator is installed, in the holes of which there are sockets for electric contacts. On the tail part of the socket housing there is a protective cover from the fluid flowing into the internal cavity of the connector. Ferrule for light guides of the socket are installed in holes of the socket housing with floating centering couplings enveloping them. Each optical centralizer by one end is rigidly attached to each ferrule for the light guide installed in the plug, and by the other free end is introduced into the specified coupling with provision of connection of ends of the tips of the mating ferrules of the plug and socket.

EFFECT: high reliability of docking optical channel light guides of a multichannel sealed optical-electrical connector, simplifying the design and reducing labor intensity in making connector parts.
