Overview
EN 61754-5:2005 (IEC 61754-5:2005) specifies the standard interface dimensions for the Type MT connector family, a multiway fibre optic plug characterized by a rectangular ferrule (typically 2.5 mm × 6.4 mm). The standard defines mechanical interface geometry, alignment/fixing features and gauges to ensure intermateability between MT variants used in high-density optical assemblies.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Connector description
- Parent MT plug: rectangular ferrule, aligned by two alignment pins and retained by a latching/clamp spring.
- Intermateability options: parent-to-parent (two free pins), single-pin/parent, two-pin/parent and single-pin/single-pin variants - with defined compatibility rules.
- Alignment pins
- Pin geometry and tolerances are specified (example diameter ~0.698 mm; see Table 1 for full limits).
- Pin hole gauge dimensions and surface finish requirements are included.
- Clamp spring
- Dimensional limits and functional requirements (spring free and compressed lengths).
- Compression (clamping) force requirement: approximately 6.8 N to 12.8 N when in clamped condition (see Table 2).
- Interface dimensions
- Precise coordinates for guide pin holes, ferrule datums and optical datum target locations (Dimension C: distance between pin hole centres, etc.).
- Requirements for acceptance of gauges to specified depths with maximum insertion forces (gauge pin acceptance to 5.5 mm depth with maximum forces of 1.7 N and 3.4 N depending on the test).
- Gauges
- Detailed designs for guide-pin hole gauges and alignment-pin hole gauges (surface roughness and tolerance specifications included).
Applications and users
- Who uses this standard
- Connector manufacturers and tooling designers for MT family parts.
- Fibre optic module and backplane designers ensuring mechanical intermateability.
- Test laboratories and QA engineers validating dimensional conformance and insertion/acceptance forces.
- Procurement and compliance teams specifying connector compatibility in optical networking equipment.
- Practical value
- Guarantees mechanical compatibility across MT connector variants in multi-fibre applications (MPO/MTP-type assemblies).
- Reduces field compatibility failures, supports high-density ribbon-fibre deployments, and aids automated assembly tooling design.

FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the Internation
