ABSTRACT:
An ejector latch indicator light and connector assembly for reducing the interference by a bulkhead of light emitted from an indicator light and establishing an electrical connection between an ejector latch and a printed circuit board (PCB) is disclosed. In one embodiment, the present invention is comprised of an ejector latch. The present embodiment is further comprised of an indicator light integrated with the ejector latch. The indicator light adapted to emit light from the ejector latch such that interference by the bulkhead of the light emitted from the indicator light is reduced. The present embodiment is also comprised of a compression-fit connector integrated with the ejector latch. The compression-fit connector adapted to provide a removably coupleable electrical connection between the ejector latch and a printed circuit board (PCB) such that inadvertent disconnection of the removably coupleable electrical connection between the ejector latch and the PCB is reduced.
