Abstract:
A termination for a light guide is provided that, on the one hand, allows connection of the light guide to a light source in a simple and reliable manner and, on the other hand, blocks light components that are not guided in the light guide. For this purpose, a ferrule is provided for terminating a light guide. The ferrule includes a transparent plastic part and an opaque light-blocking plastic part that are connected to each other to define a channel. The transparent plastic part has a light entry end that receives an end of the light guide. The channel has at least a portion that extends within the transparent plastic part and at least a portion that extends within the opaque plastic part. The has a collar surrounding the channel and has an outer diameter that is greater than a maximum outer diameter of the transparent plastic part.
