ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a pair of LED devices, a contact member, a pair of positioning members, and an EMI shield. The LED devices are fittingly attached to locating regions defined in a front portion of a top wall of the housing. Each positioning member is seated in a positioning space defined in a rear portion of the top wall of the housing whereby a guiding stem and a retaining post extending from a cover thereof are snugly received in a guiding groove and a retaining hole defined in the housing, respectively. A flange of each positioning member abuts against each LED device thereby securing the LED device to the housing. To replace the LED devices, the positioning members are removed from the housing by applying a lifting force on the flange.
