  • Illuminated electrical connector
    Patent number: 8371873
    Abstract: An illuminated or self-illuminating electrical connector is provided that has an internal light source with, electrical circuitry for illuminating the light source. The housing arrangement of the illuminated electrical connector is such that light emanating from the light source is visible through the housing arrangement to the extent that the light is visible through greater than half of the external surface of the illuminated electrical connector. Also visible through the housing arrangement, when the light source is illuminated, is an electronic component that provides an aesthetic and ‘high-tech’ enhancement to the illuminated electrical connector.
