ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A stamped precision lightguide interconnect centering element for use in a splice connector for making butt splices in optical fibers. The element is formed of a deformable metal shaped to define three surfaces for contacting the fibers to be spliced. The surfaces are formed between two levers such that when the levers are moved toward each other the surfaces defining a fiber receiving passageway are closed onto a pair of fiber ends and the surfaces center the fiber ends and the levers afford a resilient spring compression reserve force on the aligned fiber ends to maintain them in contact. The element is placed in a polymeric base and a cover, that fits onto the base, is placed over the element to close the levers of the element when the cover is closed. A plurality of connectors may be molded integrally with a support in planar, arcuate or circular arrays.
