OPTICAL FIBER CONNECTOR
First Claim
1. An optical fiber connector, comprising:
- an optical cable; and
a connector body connected to an end of the optical cable, the connector body comprising;
a shell comprising a receiving portion and a plug portion connected to an end of the receiving portion, the receiving portion defining a receiving space therein, the plug portion defining an opening communicating with the receiving space, the receiving portion comprising a bottom plate and a top plate opposite to the bottom plate, the receiving portion defining a connecting hole in the top plate communicating with the receiving space, and the end of the optical cable being received and fixed in the connecting hole;
a PCB received in the shell, the PCB comprising a mounting end and an insertion end opposite to the mounting end, the mounting end being positioned on the bottom plate, and the insertion end extending to the plug portion through the opening;
at least one photoelectric element positioned on the mounting end of the PCB, the at least one photoelectric element facing toward the top plate; and
a coupler positioned between the optical cable and the at least one photoelectric element for optically aligning the optical cable with the at least one photoelectric element.

Abstract
An optical fiber connector includes an optical cable and a connector body connected to the optical cable. The connector body includes a shell, a PCB, photoelectric elements, and a coupler. The shell includes a receiving portion and a plug portion connected to the receiving portion. The receiving portion defines a receiving space therein, and the plug portion defines an opening communicating with the receiving space. The receiving portion includes a bottom plate and an opposite top plate. The receiving portion defines a connecting hole in the top plate and communicating with the receiving space, and an end of the optical cable is received and fixed in the connecting hole. The PCB includes a mounting end positioned in the receiving portion and an insertion end extending to the plug portion through the opening. The photoelectric elements are positioned on the mounting end and faces toward the top plate.
