ABSTRACT:
An electrical power supply connector is disclosed for use with a vehicle having an electrical distribution system including a cigarette lighter receptacle, the power supply connector comprising an opaque elongated body with a longitudinal axis extending the length of the body and an exterior surface having a perimeter encircling the longitudinal axis. Terminals are positioned near the first end of the body and are adapted to be inserted into the receptacle to make electrical connection with the electrical distribution system. An electrical light source is supported within the connector. Circuitry within the connector is adapted to electrically connect the light source to the electrical distribution system to energize the light source when the first end of the connector is inserted into the receptacle. A lens encircling the exterior surface of the body directs light from the light source exteriorly of the body. When the first end of the connector is in electrical engagement with the electrical distribution system, the lens is visible to an observer regardless of rotational orientation of the connector about its longitudinal axis.
