ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector which includes a built-in indicator light arrangement is arranged such that the light source is positioned away from the front face of the connector through which the light is to be viewed, the light being directed from the light source to the front face by a light guide, which can either be formed by making the connector itself of a transparent material and including light reflecting or refracting surfaces as needed to direct the light to the front face of the connector, or by including a discrete waveguide placed in a passage which extends from the indicator light-containing cavity to the front face of the connector, and which includes appropriate light reflecting or refracting surfaces.
