Abstract
A fiber optic connector assembly is provided for terminating at least one optical fiber of a fiber optic cable. The assembly includes an outer housing having a forward mating end, a rear end and a mounting post for mounting the connector assembly on a printed circuit board. An inner housing insert is mounted within the rear end of the outer housing. The insert includes at least two interengageable parts. One of the insert parts includes a latch for securing the inner housing insert in the outer housing. A ferrule terminates the optical fiber and is captured between the two interengageable insert parts and projects into the forward mating end of the outer housing.
