Abstract
The invention relates to an optical connector arrangement wherein the connector and the converter are connected by short plastic fiber sections. The aim of the invention is to provide one such connector arrangement which can be produced in a simple and cost-effective manner, can be easily and economically mounted on a circuit carrier and reliably and efficiently soldered to the conductors thereof, enables a modular assembly, and is at least partially heat-resistant during the assembly in such a way that, for example, a vibration-resistant reflow soldering can be carried out. To this end, the fiber sections are connected to a double ferrule which is fixed to the converters by means of a clamp. A false cover can be used for the transport and soldering.
