Abstract

The inclination (6) of the Fiber end surface (4) is arranged in such a way that an edge area (7), which extends through 360 degrees, remains around the inclination. The inclination is separated from the edge area by an annular shaped indentation. In this way the connector pin has on its face (5) a constantly unchanging limit-stop surface in each desired relative position.
