Optical fiber connector

An optical fiber connector, comprising:

• a connector body comprising a front surface, an opposing rear surface parallel to the front surface, an upper surface perpendicularly interconnected between the front surface and the rear surface, the connector body including a top recess defined in the upper surface, a first bottom surface in the top recess parallel to the upper surface, two first receiving recesses defined in the upper surface, and a second bottom surface in each of the first receiving recesses, the first bottom surface defining a plurality of first receiving grooves passing through the front surface and the rear surface, each of the first receiving grooves having a first receiving groove portion and a second receiving groove portion arranged in order from the front surface to the rear surface, the first receiving recesses positioned at opposite sides of the top recess and communicating with the top recess, the first receiving recesses exposed at the front surface, each of the first receiving recesses comprising a first cover receiving portion passing through the front surface and a first glue receiving portion being away from the front surface, each of the first glue receiving portions having a curved side surface, each of the first glue receiving portions communicating with the top recess through the corresponding first cover receiving portion, the second bottom surface being raised relative to the first bottom surface;
• a plurality of first optical fibers, each of the first optical fibers comprising a first main portion consisting a core portion and cladding portion surrounding the core portion, and a concentric first front portion consisting of an exposed core portion proximate to the first main portion;
• and
• a first cover engagingly received in the top recess and the first cover receiving portions of the first receiving recesses, a gap formed between the curved side surface and two neighboring side surfaces of the first cover, the first cover and the first receiving groove portions cooperatively securely retaining the first front portions of the first optical fibers in the first receiving groove portions, and the first main portions fixed in second receiving groove portions with adhesive.
