A connector device (100) for connecting optical fiber endpieces (31) comprising an optoelectronic chip (60), a fiber end piece holder (25) and a reflection surface (5). The chip is oriented for emitting and/or detecting optical signals along a first propagation direction normal to a circuit board (2). The reflection surface (5) changes a propagation direction of optical signals from the first propagation direction to a different, second propagation direction and/or vice versa. The connector device (100) comprises a layered optical stack (10) mounted to the circuit board and designed for propagation of optical signals along the first propagation direction. The connector device (100) further comprises a coupling adapter piece (40) mounted to the layered optical stack (10) that holds and/or secures the fiber end piece holder (25) in an orientation enabling propagation of signals radiation along the second propagation direction. The reflection surface (5) for changing between both propagation directions is comprised in the coupling adapter piece.

Disclosed are optical connectors and methods for making the same. In one embodiment, the optical connector comprises an optical body, one or more first magnetic materials attached to the optical body, a housing, and one or more second magnetic materials attached to the housing. The first magnetic material(s) provide alignment with an optical element of a complimentary receptacle and the optical body may include one or more openings for receiving the first magnetic materials. The second magnetic materials) attached to the housing provide retention of the optical connector with the complimentary receptacle when mated together. Consequently, the optical connector allows for quick and easy assembly along with a robust structure for a large number of mating/unmating cycles. In other embodiments, the optical devices disclosed may further include one or more electrical contacts for making a hybrid connection or have a TIR surface integrated into a portion of a housing.
