Abstract
An optical fiber connector comprises a frame and a ferrule connectable together. The frame has a key insert inside an interior passage of the frame for mating with the ferrule. The ferrule has a flange configured to mate with the key insert. The flange includes a number of V-grooves, and the key insert has the same number of tips for mating with the V-grooves. For each of two sides of an individual V-groove, at least a portion thereof forms a substantially-seamless contact with a part of an outer surface of an individual tip during mating. Hence, the individual tip is prevented from making a motion in a direction parallel to flange, thereby resisting an undesired angular displacement between the connector and an optical fiber therein to occur due to an accidental rotational force applied to the connector after the frame and the ferrule are connected.
