Abstract

A fiber optic connector assembly includes a connector housing defining locking portion defined, an adapter assembly selectively coupled to the connector housing, the adapter assembly including a conversion housing extending around the connector housing and defining a conversion retention member that is positionable between an engaged position, in which the conversion retention member restricts movement of the connector housing with respect to the adapter assembly in an axial direction, and a disengaged position, in which the connector housing is movable with respect to the adapter assembly in the axial direction, and a release housing positioned between the conversion housing and the connector housing, the release housing defining a release front end positionable at least partially within the conversion housing, and a release face selectively engageable with the conversion retention member and configured to move the conversion retention member from the engaged position to the disengaged position.

Claims (43)

1. A fiber optic connector assembly comprising:

a connector housing defining:

a locking portion on an outer surface of the connector housing; and

a connector keying portion on the outer surface of the connector housing;

an adapter assembly selectively coupled to the connector housing, the adapter assembly comprising:

a conversion housing extending around the connector housing and defining a conversion front end and a conversion retention member selectively engaged with the locking portion of the connector housing; and

a release housing positioned between the conversion housing and the connector housing, the release housing defining:

an inward release keying portion engaged with the connector keying portion; and

a release face that is selectively engageable with the conversion retention member,

wherein the conversion housing defines a forward conversion keying feature structurally configured to engage an SC connector, and

wherein the conversion housing further defines a conversion guide extending outward from the conversion housing and aligned with the forward conversion keying feature.

2. The fiber optic connector assembly of claim 1 , wherein the release housing defines an outward release keying portion on a release outer surface of the release housing.

3. The fiber optic connector assembly of claim 2 , wherein the conversion housing defines a rearward conversion keying feature engaged with the outward release keying portion.

4. The fiber optic connector assembly of claim 3 , wherein the rearward conversion keying feature defines a slot engaged with the outward release keying portion of the release housing.

5. The fiber optic connector assembly of claim 2 , wherein the outward release keying portion is formed as a positive surface projection extending outward from the release outer surface and defines opposing outward release contact surfaces.

6. The fiber optic connector assembly of claim 1 , wherein the connector keying portion is formed as a negative cut out and defines opposing connector contact surfaces.

7. The fiber optic connector assembly of claim 1 , wherein the inward release keying portion is formed as a positive surface projection extending inward from a release inner surface in a radial direction that is transverse to an axial direction.

8. The fiber optic connector assembly of claim 1 , wherein the release housing defines a release outer surface extending the axial direction, and a release slot extending through the release outer surface, and wherein the conversion retention member is positioned at least partially within the release slot in the engaged position.

9. The fiber optic connector assembly of claim 8 , wherein the release housing defines a release retainer extending over at least a portion of the release slot.

10. The fiber optic connector assembly of claim 8 , wherein the release housing defines a release face positioned adjacent to the release slot, wherein the release face faces outward in a radial direction that is transverse to the axial direction.

11. The fiber optic connector assembly of claim 10 , wherein the release face of the release housing is a first release face, and wherein the release housing further comprises a second release face, wherein the first release face and the second release face are positioned on opposite sides of the release slot.

12. The fiber optic connector assembly of claim 1 , wherein the conversion front end defines a forward conversion keying feature structurally configured to engage an SC connector.

13. The fiber optic connector assembly of claim 1 , wherein the release housing defines an inward release keying portion and wherein the connector housing defines a connector keying portion that is engaged with the inward release keying portion.

14. The fiber optic connector assembly of claim 1 , wherein:

the conversion housing defines a forward conversion keying feature structurally configured to engage an SC connector;

the release housing defines an outward release keying portion on a release outer surface of the release housing; and

the conversion housing defines a rearward conversion keying feature engaged with the outward release keying portion.

15. A fiber optic connector assembly comprising:

a connector housing defining:

a locking portion on an outer surface of the connector housing; and

a connector keying portion on the outer surface of the connector housing;

an adapter assembly selectively coupled to the connector housing, the adapter assembly comprising:

a conversion housing extending around the connector housing and defining a conversion front end and a conversion retention member selectively engaged with the locking portion of the connector housing; and

a release housing positioned between the conversion housing and the connector housing, the release housing defining:

an inward release keying portion engaged with the connector keying portion; and

a release face that is selectively engageable with the conversion retention member,

wherein the release housing defines an outward release keying portion on a release outer surface of the release housing, and

wherein the outward release keying portion is formed as a positive surface projection extending outward from the release outer surface and defines opposing outward release contact surfaces.

16. The fiber optic connector assembly of claim 15 , wherein the conversion housing defines a forward conversion keying feature structurally configured to engage an SC connector.

17. The fiber optic connector assembly of claim 15 , wherein the conversion housing further defines a conversion guide extending outward from the conversion housing and aligned with the forward conversion keying feature.

18. The fiber optic connector assembly of claim 15 , wherein the conversion housing defines a rearward conversion keying feature engaged with the outward release keying portion.

19. The fiber optic connector assembly of claim 18 , wherein the rearward conversion keying feature defines a slot engaged with the outward release keying portion of the release housing.

20. The fiber optic connector assembly of claim 15 , wherein the connector keying portion is formed as a negative cut out and defines opposing connector contact surfaces.
