OPTO-MECHANICAL CONNECTOR

The present invention relates to a manufacturing method for an opto-mechanic al connector (10) and to the connector itself. The invention includes that a fixture (1) is manufactured with straight and parallel grooves (2,3) running on the upper side of the fixture (1) from a first fixture side (1a) to a second fixture side (1b), and which grooves (2,3) are intended partly for optical fibres and partly fo guide pins. A lid (4) is attached above the fixture (1), whereafter optical fibres (8) from, for example, a fibre ribbon cable (6) are introduced into the grooves (2) intended for the fibres from the first fixture side (1a) so that the fibre ends (8) extend out through the second fixture side (1b). Guide pins (9) are furthermore introduced into the grooves (3) intende d for the guide pins. The structure obtained (fixture (1), lid (4), fibre end (8) and guide pins (9)) is completely or partially enclosed by a plastic capsule (11).
