description	A multi-fiber fiber optic connector is provided having features that allow for changeability with respect to gender. A pin retention structure is configured to retain a pair of alignment pins and includes a pin-holder body with a pair of pin openings and a U-shaped spring clip. The spring clip including a base portion and two opposing legs, and is movable between a pin retaining position and a pin release position. When the spring clip is in the pin retaining position, the two opposing legs engage with outer sides of each of the alignment pins, and when the spring clip is in the pin release position, the base portion flexes inwardly and the two opposing legs disengage with the outer sides of each of the alignment pins.
