Abstract
A plug part (1) for an optical plug connection comprises one pin holder (3) in which a plug pin (2) for retaining an optical waveguide which extends over a longitudinal central axis (L) is held. The pin holder (3) can be pushed into a plug housing (4) via a cable-side opening (30) and locked therein in a mounting position, wherein the plug pin (2) is held axially resiliently in the plug housing (4) with the aid of a separate spring element (5). The spring element (5) can here be inserted in a mount in the plug housing (4) before the pin holder (3) is pushed in. The spring element (5) is secured by way of a clamping sleeve (6) which can be inserted into the mount via the plug-side opening (30) in the push-in direction (e). Arranged in the mount is a circlip (7) and the pin holder (3) has a groove (12) which can be brought into engagement with the circlip (7) in a latching manner in order to fix the mounting position.
