A connector subassembly (14) and related connector (10) that are configured to floatingly align and tune mated ferrules are disclosed. The connector subassembly (14) includes a ferrle holder (34) and a plug housing (20) having an inner surface (50) with slanted or sloped alignment features, such as, for example, a radially extending key (62). In an embodiment, the ferrule holder (34) assembly is configured to hold the ferrule (32) and has an outer surface defining a groove extending axially. The key is slidably disposed in the groove. The connector (10) includes the ferrule holder (34), the plug housing (20), a spring element (24) disposed within the plug housing (20) and urging the ferrule holder (34) in a direction axially toward the rearward opening (58), a crimp body (22) attached to the plug housing (20) so as to compress the spring element (24), a boot (18) attached to the plug housing (20) via the crimp body (22) and disposed about a portion of an optical fiber (30), and a tube (36) disposed about a section of the optical fiber (30) and secured to the ferrule holder (34).

Sous-ensemble connecteur et connecteur correspondant conçu pour aligner et apparier de façon flottante les férules. Ce sous-ensemble comprend un support de férule et un boîtier de prise possédant une surface intérieure présentant des caractéristiques d'alignement incliné, telles que, par exemple, une cale s'étendant dans un sens radial. Dans un mode de réalisation, ce support de férule est conçu pour retenir la férule et possède une surface extérieure définissant une gorge s'étendant dans un sens axial. La cale est placée de façon coulissante dans la gorge. Le connecteur comprend le support de férule, le boîtier de prise, un élément élastique placé à l'intérieur du boîtier de prise et poussant le support de férule dans un sens axial en direction de l'ouverture placée en arrière, un sertissage fixé au boîtier de prise, de manière à comprimer l'élément élastique, une gaine fixée au boîtier de prise par l'intermédiaire du sertissage et entourant une partie d'une fibre optique, ainsi qu'un tube entourant une partie de la fibre optique et fixée au support de férule.
