- 25 - FIBER OPTIC CONNECTOR Abstract Disclosed is an electro-optical component package, arranged as a dual in-line pin (DIP) package, and a socket therefor. Connector pins extending from the package establish electrical and optical contact to the package with mating connector receptacles of the socket. Each pin and receptacle has a metallic body for establishing electrical connection between the pin and receptacle when the two are mated. Each body defines a passageway through which extends an optical fiber . When the bodies of a pin and receptacle are mated, the optical fibers extending therethrough are optically coupled. The receptacle includes a cup member that is positioned loosely and movably in its passageway. The cup member defines a passageway by which it mounts around the end of the receptacle's fiber. When the pin and receptacle are mated, the cup member receives and mates the end portion of the pin, thereby aligning the ends of the receptacle's and pin's fibers. A coiled spring positioned in the receptacle's passageway around the receptacle's fiber urges the cup member against the end portion of the pin.
