Abstract
The invention relates to a plug-in element (1) for an optical plug-in connection. Said element comprises a connector pin (2), which is held in a guide sleeve (4) by axial spring-loaded prestress, in such a way that it can be displaced in a limited manner along its longitudinal axis (3). The guide sleeve consists of at least two casing elements (5, 5′) that can be assembled along their longitudinal axes. Said casing elements significantly simplify the production and assembly, as no screw or adhesive connections are required.
