An optical fibre connector is shown comprising a jack (2) mounted to a mother board (100) and a plug (102) mounted to a daughter board (101). The plug (102) has a slidable insert (106) retained by thrust lances (150) against a shoulder (152) of the plug housing (104) such that the insert (106) can be inserted into a cavity (213) of the jack (2). Latches (291) of the jack (2) serve to latch onto ribs (128) of the plug insert (106) so as to butt a ferrule (116) of the plug against a female (12) of the jack resiliently together. Further insertion of the insert (106) into the jack causes ribs (248) to release the thrust lances (150) of the plug insert (107) such that the insert springs rearwards allowing the plug housing (104) to slide forwards without spring resistance, enabling absorption of a certain tolerance in the spacing between the daughter board (101) and the mother board (100).
